What I would like to see go underground are the traffic light pedestrian crossings in the CDB area. It'll safe time for pedestrians, shelter them from the blazing sun and thundery rain, minimise jaywalking, and improve vehicular traffic as more vehicles can get through the junction at each green light.
Cyclists, pet owners, people in wheelchairs: What are we supposed to do then? In all cases where SG replaced at-grade road crossings with underground tunnels or bridges it really penalises everybody not inside a car. I’d suggest we ban cars or put those underground in the CBD and let people have the open space.
@@LaustinSpayceikr, having a lot of asphalt is the really why our island is already getting hotter. Let’s not gaslight the rest to suffer in claustrophobic spaces
Moving cars underground would save time for cars and for pedestrians; shelter cars from the weather and also improve vehicular traffic. Meanwhile, pedestrians could enjoy the sunlight (Vitamin D?) and the sights, could more easily cross the road (see the car-friendly but pedestrian-unfriendly Suntec area as a case study of pedestrian dystopia), profit from sheltered corridors, less inhaling of harmful microparticles, reduce traffic accidents between cars and unprotected human beings, and, as others mentioned here, reduce the urban heat effect (more asphalt, more heat), which ironically was the starting point of the above video. PS With rising seawater levels, an additional consideration is whether moving further underground is the right move.
But will it eventually become a situation where the poor are underground and sunlight is for the rich? Is SG set to become HK 2.0? What about quality of life?
There's already two underground water reservoirs in Singapore. Residential towers are planned to be 60 storeys tall here. Every 20 storeys there'll be green parks. There'll be horizontal travellators also.
If there is One type of underground infrastructure that Singapore REALLY TRUELY needed island wide, it is the underground paid AUTOMATED PARKING storage for personal bicycles like those in Japan. The amount of staked bicycles parked along MRT stations and HDBs block void decks are hideous! 🤦🏼
No under ground, it will be have sunami soon or later, and the various will come again, people will dead left 1m people only,various will come after 2027

why not ur car underground, save time accessing car park and contain air pollution

Just put the roads under. More green space = less heat

Singapore is running out of space, but there are still so many hidden gems with the little space we have
Highway noise is such a health hazard we have to build underground highways.

Just like in the 2002 movie. “The Time Machine”. Humans will then split into TWO species.

they tried it in Kampung Admiralty back in late 2017, system didn't even last till 2020 arrived.
I think eventually it is mandatory to have many people in 1 home and illegal to have 1 person alone
Huh? What gen z nonsense you spouting. Boy boy
@WasLostButNowAmFound but I mean my words are not far fetched as you would thibk
Basically he saying a single perosn shouldn't occupy and entire house it should be shares with mulitple ppl.
For Singapore as long as we have PAP govt nothing is impossible to achieve
I don't think I can or will want to foot the bill for the expensive excavation!😊
Land belongs to SaF . They are the land masters. Those in force will know.
You can build downwards, but you need to connect them together. without connectivity, there's no point building underground
Why should this be a problem? Reclaim more from the sea. Can use the neighbour's land in Johor, Sarawak, Batam and Bintan on partnership projects.
We need sunlight , fresh air . . ... is not healthy.... hope never come through
Instead of going down why not going up
What do u think we doing now
UNDER THE BLUE SEA OR SOMETHING !! 💢💢

Underground will make sea level rises faster so better stop digging
Underground HDB.
Who is this pinoy looking host?

there are more than meets the eye for singapore to move forward. 😄too sensitive to even talk about for our generation.
