Let’s set the record straight: Singapore is so much more than a stopover. After several visits, the Southeast Asian island and city state has fast become one of my favourite places in the world. Handily for my conscience, it’s also one of the greenest cities in the world.
One of the first things you’ll notice upon departing Changi airport is just how prominent nature is in Singapore. Trailing flowers cascade from its flyovers, fusing concrete with flora. Every road feels as though it’s punctuated by a park. Skyscrapers are dotted with green enclaves and topped with roof gardens. And that’s just outside the airport.
