      Idea for Singapore: keep converting roofs in gardens and use these new transparent solar panels that can replace the windows of skyscrapers. You will get both energy and greens to cool of the city.

Its hot if you visit the equator on during the hottest months of the year this is to be expected.

    Crossing border from Malaysia to Singapore. One thing that surprised me is that Singapore despite its land size, I can see so many greens islandwide, and I feel the breeze while walking on the roads from HDB to bus stop. I never feel any breeze while walking in Kuala Lumpur, and KL city hall designed the sidewalk to be occupied by selfish businesses, trying to discourage pedestrians to drive instead.

    • @sunlightdavid
      @sunlightdavid 3 года назад +49

      To be fair, I see that KL is pretty far away from the ocean compared to the middle of SG. Also when I look at maps, there's hardly reservoirs or rivers in KL. That could contribute to the heat or lack of breeze? City design of buildings can affect wind.

    Humidity is the real mother here. We'd feel a lot less smothered and bothered if it's a tad lower. Summer days in Europe feels more bearable even at higher temperatures. The moment you step into shade you feel the difference in temperature. In Singapore, moist is a feeling you get every day. Heck, sometimes as soon as you step out of the showers lol.
    But yes, I'm sure we appreciate the country using science to cool it a little esp now when we can't escape the heat with a holiday to cooler places. -.-

    I view what is happening in Singapore with great interest. Frankly, I think that what Singapore is trying to do using science and technology has to be exported and duplicated throughout the world as not much can be done within one tiny country. The problem is too big to be solved by increasing vegetation cover, cooling the air and clever use of aerodynamic design. Perhaps a bit of improvement can be achieved but it’s simply unsustainable. The whole world has to be doing the same thing. I hail Singapore’s effort and really want to see it exported everywhere.

    • @zwwong9275
      @zwwong9275 3 года назад +1

      I agree, I think the benefit of Singapore being a small country is that the government has alot more say and can act significantly more decisively on such matters. Say you wanted to do the same in a country like the US for example, the proposal would probably have to go through multiple rounds of approval before it even makes its way to the city hall office. By that time the issue would've probably gotten too bad to resolve

      I wouldn't say the whole world, problem is most of the people who live in these climates live in low-income countries. The north and south tend not to have these problems. The issue in Mainland Europe and N.America is that the heat only lasts so long so making a whole system just for a few weeks where it gets this hot isn't worth it. The weather is very inconsistent and so I don't think anything like that will make it here.

      "Pumping cold water into the surrounding office towers in the summer" is not possible in Singapore. In Singapore, everyday is summer and there are just too many office towers and buildings around and Water is super precious. Hence, Singapore is looking for a more sustainable way of cooling its environment especially since it is summer everyday for them and pumping water is not possible because Singapore treats water as a very precious resource to only be used for survival as much as possible. Interesting to see that the pumping of cold water works well in Toronto but it may not be feasible in Singapore.

    As a physicist, imho what they need is something like SkyCool systems solution, or more of that district cooling. All those AC units need to dump the heat either radiatively into the sky, or into water through district cooling, but not in the air right outside the buildings where it'll quickly find its way back in.
    Also, try to eliminate surfaces that are black in the visible spectrum. Ideally, surfaces should be as dark as possible in the far IR spectrum (so they radiate heat back to the sky as infrared) and as white as possible in the visible spectrum (so that they absorb as little sunlight as possible). Any dark building surfaces should be painted.

      Last I recall from the news, that VR bike ride was more for a cultural thing while also doubling as an exercise thing.
      That was at least a year back, so you _might_ be able to search it up.

    I live in a forest in a thick canopy. It is cool usually even in summer! It does get hot but its nothing compared to NYC or Chicago or Tampa or New Orleans in the summer, all places I've lived and all these places cut down too many trees, and the concrete just cooks you. Trees are the way to go!

    Very cool city!! Trees in a city are really important not only for environment, but also for mental health of the residents. The idea to make a whole-city model is amazing. I guess it can be possible probably because of the small size of the country. I hope it help other cities in the world be more sustainable and comfortable.🌱😀

    So plant trees to create cool shade? Fascinating. Who would have thought of this. Pure genius.

    Singapore is doing a great job. I think one more point to note is what kind of trees contribute more to cooling. As some trees can produce 24hrs oxygen while others can't. Maybe it is also a point worth noting.

    Singapore should be the benchmark of other countries. I really hope its advocacy of “cooling” can be an eye opener to the climate changes affecting the world as a whole.
