I truly wish he gets to live 1000 years
Just by saying this is jinxing his life span
@@kenkong8100 if you completely understood the sense and essence of his message then what's the point of having perfect and correct grammar?
His voice…
Omg ♥️♥️♥️
"saving the planet" is a big lie for those who want to save their wallets !
I don't think he would like to witness the future this earth is going to see.
This should be done EVERYWHERE not just a few select cities
Yeah, as if money could magically appear out of their pockets
@@iSyriux why need money to do this if we prioritize it will cost nothing don't lock nature behind a paywall because without it we wouldn't even have money in the first place
@@bababab6906 thank you if can get money to build all these cities I believe we have the money to do this our governments aren't poor and this would benefit everyone
@@iSyriux Yet they have enough money to build massive skyscrapers...ok lol
@@iSyriux It costs nothing to plant a seed, it costs nothing to take a cutting and plant it... it cost's $1 to plant a sapling (Baby tree)...
Stop waiting on the rich to do it... as they are just waiting on you.
Someone should nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize “for his unwavering devotion to the conservation of wildlife and for his determination to promote environmental awareness by utilizing media to spread the message.”
It's honestly crazy how he's never won this award for a lifetime dedication to nature and conservation of wildlife
He doesn't do anything but provide voice-over on videos. Nobel prize for what?
If fucking Obummer got one, I’d say Attenborough is at least as deserving.
Any member of a national parliament of university professor may nominate whoever they like.
@@UnsaltedCashew38 ok buddy
The way he says “Singapore” is legendary.
ZINN GA POOAHH
Also sais city when its a country..
@@W4AQ Singapore is both a country and city in one. Simply google Singapore and wikipedia immediately defines it as a sovereign island city-state
not so legendary for its inhibitants
Seems like his voice colonized it... Oh
He will never lose his ability to stunningly narrate documentary’s like this and he is and will always be the best documentarian the human race has ever had
Well..."never" might be a tad much. He's 95 after all
@@gooseface2690 I was meaning he won’t lose it while he still lives the only way he would lose it is when he dies and his death will make a massive hole where the voice of nature should be I have a feeling the government will act when he dies
I love his narrations so much
@@Captainval28 @Connor Valentine I fully agree...was only teasing you a bit. Attenborough is truly one-of-a-kind, having never lost the ability to stunningly narrate documentaries.
@@Captainval28 He is one of a kind... but... he is leaving a clear message... he is telling everyone we can have the same goal, he is telling everyone that anyone can follow his footsteps... he telling everyone that we all can have a impact bigger than he ever had... for it is not him that will action the future... that is now down to everyone left after him.
Sir David Attenborough has such a soothing voice
True
Indeed
He will read the 26 letters of the alphabet and it will sound like a documentary😀😀
@@dannydanquah3681 Lol, my phone won't let me like your comment, I'm struggling so much to give it a like XD
FINALLY, I GAVE IT THE LIKE IT DESERVES, took a few minutes omg 😅😅😅
If Sir David Attenborough is willing to speak, then I'm willing to listen
Yeah but need to be willing to start living in a way that we need to.
It is not just about listening. Though I am humbled that we have someone like Sir Davey to listen to yet fascinated that we have put our dumb selves into a position where it is catastrophically important that we do so.
Even if he's talking rubbish.
@@dogeatdog8009 What then, Dogeatdog, is your vision? And on what basis do you make your claim of "rubbish". If you have no answer to these questions, then you have no answer at all.
@@andrewthomas695 my answer is climate change is a lie. Less peope dying due to climate change today than ever before. Bootlicker
@hennepin 2020 How cute, there are still people that think like this in 2021
His voice and his contribution to the earth's environment make him a legend.
Tall metal structures with plants and animals in a city…it looks like an excellent way for both humans and animals/plants to live together in urban areas…
The narration is the best as well…🤗
Mosquitoes....
most animals can't live in city even with some structure like that, it increase the populations of some animals that like it and are then are wining the competition over their fellow competitor because they become numerous and the species who is outnumber slowly dissapear, its observed with a lot of species, specialy bird on urban area, you see this with piegeons, structure like this only makes it a little better. anaway to make it short even with structure like this, species dissapear and a lot of animals diversity is lost. so its an exellent way for a few species to live together with human, good idea too for that and for other reasons.
this is so delusionally stupid... no one taught ole Dave about Nazi agriculture and Living Soil. What a damn shame.
Is this gonna blow up?
But it's not for people that so squeamish.
Remember that.. when u have a plant/tree, that area also will be the home of insects. Ants, termites, and even roaches & mosquitoes.
Some ppl hate bugs. They even can't stand the lines of ants. They need to live somewhere.
This man, Sir David Attenborough deserves a Nobel prize. And most deserving I've seen in my life.
He is truly the best person to ever exist
@@sitarakistiah29 🙄🙄
You're right. He has a heart of gold and wants the best for people and nature
@@nollebeerens513 Not only we look up David Attenborough but we have to be a better qualities of human being just like him.
What for, having the carbon footprint of a small country himself, or for telling everyone else not to travel around the world.
For people nagging in the comments, this is for you:
Singapore is aiming to become a city in a garden.
If you ever have been to Singapore you'd find luscious green almost anywhere within your vicinity. The drive through the highways are littered with trees and flowers. Your walk from your apartment to your nearest public transport is ALSO filled with trees providing shade, and lots of grass and flowers.
Animals are abundant in the wildlife reserves in singapore, and you often see monkeys, chipmunks and iguanas and plenty of birds roaming around Singapore.
The trees in this VERTICAL space are meant to do exactly what they are doing. Provide more greenery and shade in their specific areas. This is Singapore, its 600sqkm wide....... Top 5 most expensive cities in the world to live in. They're doing a great job implementing various ways to keep the city closer to nature with their limited land and resources.
Yeah correct. Cities like Riyadh, Bangalore and Melbourne are trying to follow on the footsteps of Singapore.
@@bush.nawaz.t8385 Adhu Namma Bangalore
@@Ponakalaranjit456 what?😅
It's also very very expensive. I'm beginning my final year of bachelor architecture in the Netherlands and this is one of the hardest topics
But they also steal sand to keep growing and destory parts of the ocean and island with it.
The very concept is heart warming. The principal of "live and let live". To see those otters play in a City is almost unbelievable and who is better placed to do the narration than sir David Attenborough?
That is so beautiful it looks like something you'd see in a movie.
A city of forest elves living in a sci fi universe.
It also remind me a movie Avatar when during the night, all life lights up.
It is remarkable arrogance to say "save the planet". Who the hell do you think you are? The planet doesn't need you to save it.
Best narrator ever
Truly!
Who is the narrator?
Is it David Attenborough himself?
top narrator on my list
@@thejasv3039 yes it is
Singapore is literally the dream city for engineers.
dream city for architects, a nightmare of a city for builders lol
Architects*
Can't believe how much Singapore has changed since I was last living there, roughly 22 years ago now. Time sure flies. I need to go back, even for just a few day to check out how much it's changed.
Its sg 2.0
Mr Attenborough's voice is one that i have known since i was a kid over the last 30 couple years. such a great man with the best job in the world. nobody else could have done this job better than him. for that i say thank you for all of the years, and my boys thank you too!!!!!
When people have visions.. and they love their job, miracles happen
@@m4rios916 well said
Yeah, it’s the voice of Winnie the Pooh. 😂
He is one of the Very reasons I studied Wildlife Tourism and Management..from Tanzania
@@carolbronz2297 did you find good work?
Keep Safe Sir David Attenborough, the world would miss you.
@@Icetea-2000 bruh
@@Icetea-2000 keeping safe doesn't just mean protection from the virus lol
Indeed... You spoke my feelings dear ❤️😭🙏
@@arnavm.9529 I’m sorry, but that’s what you immediately assume people mean these days
@@Icetea-2000 no. I assume something with a higher death rate and hope he’s safe from that. Covid sucks but is much easier to beat over various types of cancer etc.
That Gentleman there could read Yellow pages and I'd still listen to it! What a magical voice he has! ❤️
I’ve watched almost everything this man has narrated, he’s my stress reliever and go to guy for random knowledge I didn’t even know I wanted to go. I fall asleep to his vids everyday. He’s a legend!
His passion for nature is unquestionably I really admire this man.
Same here!
*unquestionable
@@cucuraki5913 🤣🤣🤣
David is the real deal.. I always sleep to his documentaries
DUDE!!!!
Same 💤💤
@Ricardo Leonardo You mean someone who is in favor of "a national policy of treating the whole world as a proper sphere for political influence (Merriam-Webster)"? Yeah that's just terrible.
lol
He is that boring huh?
Sir David remains as coherent, passionate , expressive and animated as ever. Warms my heart to listen to him and know he's still fully engaged with sharing his perspective and heart with viewers. Theres nobody on the planet I trust more then this man! He deserves the greatest awards and honors humanity can bestow on someone for the education hes provided for generations of people. God Bless you Sir David!
His voice is literally the soundtrack to the majority of my early life
I was actually not in my best of mood but David Attenborough voices is like a relaxant for me
ngl, this series' ending made me drop tears of joy
Water some plants with those tears!
So you were happy it ended?
@@LacyJacy well, I was kinda disappointed they halfed the number of episodes but everything good has to end at some point, and that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the series
Singapore is like the future we picture whenever we imagine how the future cities would look like
Nah, most future cities would look like those in cyberpunk.
@@porkcutlet3920 Singapore is cyberpunk
Singapore is such a great model for every cities in the world
I agree it is in many ways. Unless of course you want to drink a bottle of water on public transport or even chew chewing gum at all! They have very restrictive laws for its citizens.
except for the caning
You misspelled barbaric,restrictive,authoritarian shithole that only exists because of good geography
Mother Earth has enough resources to fulfill everyone's need,but not for everyone's greed.

Newsflash, singapore is the MOST CAPITALISTIC country in the world (keyword : index economy freedom). By 'social democratic' countries standard, singapore is worse on labor policies than the US and much less tax on the tippy top 1%.
@@TheSiprianus Yes. When I look at cities like Singapore and those of the Middle East, I think, "what a joke". When you make all your immigrant workers live in squalid slums not too far from the glittering gold buildings, it's not hard to "achieve" what they have.
May God bless you Sir David Attenborough with long life. Your voice is heart warming.
I've said this for years all cities should do this roof top farming and all
We are f*cked anyway, its way to late
Bangladesh is a poor country but many people in the cities are doing rooftop gardening, many videos on youtube
David's voice is magic he has never lost his enthusiasm and love for nature. Making City greener is a fantastic idea. I hope other city's follow Singapore
This gives me hope for our future and our children’s future. STAY HOPEFUL. 😊
Singapore is next level gorgeous
@@PJJ196 agreed I’m going there when COVID is over. 😊
Your picture 🥵
@@pierzespitzer571 ikr I’m gorgeoussssssss
Same!
I still can't get over the fact this man took time out of his day to hand write me a letter legend.
A living icon, who made many of us to fall in love with Nature
Really sucks to see David Attenborough getting older and older. 😭
news flash, we are all dying the day we are born.
That's natural and it doesn't suck.
@@princeedmunddukeofedinburg Obviously it’s natural, but it still sucks nonetheless that he will be gone in the near future. Stop being so nihilistic.
@@dillonphillips313 more like realistic
@@causeitsthere Damn Mr.genius we didnt know that if it werent for you.He expressed his emotions stop trying to be a smartas
His voice is the reason bbc earth and life were so popular
You are truly an example to everyone. You have a heart of gold. Let's fight together for nature!
david attenborough’s love for all creatures is kinda how I imagine god would be like. Trying to say that in a way that doesn’t sound crazy is hard
I admire David’s life. I know how he feels. Good health towards you David, and may you live as long as you choose.
I wish the USA had the foresight to follow the example of Singapore.
Did someone say oil?
@@spegatti3108 how bout greed & Corruption.
You wouldn't be able to afford it.

That was absolutely beautiful. I really want to visit Singapore and see how its people are as they truly have made living with the world part of their culture.
It is not only breathtaking but something to marvel at and to learn from.
It’s beautiful
There's something magical whenever Sir David tells every single stories. I'm always all ears.
Sir david Attenborough.....
❤
World need 1000s of peoples like him....
Respect
Sir David's soothing voice in narration is one of the best natural world given to us.
I've always admired and simply baffled at this man's work ever since I was just a kid... thank you for taking us into the world
Sir David Attenborough is an amazing human being whom I have grown listening to and it's amazing how he has so much for our planet 👊
Thank you for sharing this!!
This actually gives me hope, thank you 🥰
The modern version of Babylon’s hanging gardens.
The modern vision of how to not fuck up this world.
Beautiful. Im crying
This should be 2 hour documentary I would watch several times. Thank you a lot for this video, it gave me chills. Amazing.
This lightened my day
This is amazing. David is amazing. wow
Dearest Sir Attenborough , I can listen to his magical peaceful voice forever ...A very good documentary as an example to many nations who are unrespectful to the nature which is our life !
Wow! That was so amazing and emotional..felt like crying of emotion
Singapore's at least 30 years ahead of everyone in terms of infrastructure & technology.
This was so incredible, so moving, it made me cry tears of joy and hope that maybe we won't pollute ourselves out of existence. 😁🇨🇦♥️🇨🇦
An inspiration for so many of us that have grown up watching his documentaries.
David Attenborough Let’s Celebrate
Incredible , and Sir David is an extraordinary Man great to see him still going strong!
Its so exciting! the prospect of us humans living in harmony with other species , blending in.
His voice is always good to hear... Such a soothing voice... It really calms you down...
Thank you David!
Yes that's right David. We have to do everything within our power to protect the planet, live sustainably and educate our next generation the role and importance of nature to humans.
The man, the legend.. presenting hope for humanity yet.
Create the space and animals will come, what a beautiful statement.
God bless Mr. Attenborough.
Sir David Attenborough is quite simply the most incredible human to have ever lived.
This is SO important. Love this❤🌳🌲🌴
The irony in that his brother created Jurassic Park. Lol.
It took a lot of brain power to pull out some old JP fanboy out of my head to ubderstand the joke and it was worth it
I've never seen anything more beautiful.
Nice to see you again Mr. Attenborough,. You have had a wonderfull life, brought us much hope with your videos, thanks for everything you have us...God bless you
Proud to be a Singaporean, our country is playing a part in saving the environment
Imagine with all these wonders, you also had freedom of speech in your country.
@@mellowmonsoon278 We don't need the version that you have because our government works for the people. Don't be sour.
@@samesamebutdifferent563 So you judged something called "version that you have" and me being "sour" with absolutely no knowledge. Man, they have screwed your rationalization ability too. No wonder you like them so much.
The way he adds extra depth to the "th" sound in "earth"
Amazing narration as always Sir David
Loved the video!! And sir Attenborough!! 🙏
Happy to see some thought for nature but saddens me to know that mr David Attenborough may not be around for too long, his voice is eternal!
I want to visit Singapore so bad! The entire world needs to take a page out of their book
Best Narrator Ever. I whole heartedly wish he lives very long and continues breathtaking documentaries.
No words exceptionally meaningful
The legend. The best narrator ... no one like him period 💛
True but he looks like he will die any year now. Makes me sad thinking about it
Come to London, Ontario, Canada. Our city is named "The Forest City". We've got this crazy thing going where there are trees growing everywhere except they are on the ground where rain water naturally collects so we don't have to pump the water up a sky scraper.
I LOVE that!!
You have to pump water up sky scrapers anyways unless those places have some bizarrely setup sky scrapers with zero plumbing
London, ON, is a small city and has very different needs and capacities than cities with geographical limitations like Singapore or Manhattan Island
@@cheerymike6166 yeah but only as much water as people are already using. Do we really need to pump water up for trees to consume too? I don't think so personally but I'm just a dude, not an expert
What you actually have is a thriving soil that allows plants like trees to grow and feed off its nutrient web. The trees and plants themselves are COMPLETELY meaningless. The living soil is what matters. And the vast majority of the living soil is succumbing to desertification. When the soils all die (it's already happening) we all die. And this could happen as soon as 2110 and result in global human extinction by 2150. Plants and animals are meaningless. The trillions upon trillions of microbial animals that make up living healthy soil are what allows ALL other life on land to exist. There is no human alternative. The Nazi Agriculture model we are using is poisoning the land faster for short term gains in production.
What a beautiful message
Simply incredible
Producer: what level are we going to with the cinematography
BBC: yes….
Wow this is so amazing I wish every city was like that right now. It would be better for our health and the earth's.
Yep, this is the most beautiful video I've watched all year.
Most inspiring clip i have seen in the last few months....love it!
Best proof of “If you build it… they will come” ✨
Whenever Sir Attenborough talks my Brian automatically goes into learning mode
i hope your Brian is doing good, i wish i had a Brian as well ;)
@@janslavik5284 yup….. Brain
@@janslavik5284 Bloody hell your sarcasm here is bloody funny 😂😂
This is truly inspiring
These documentaries always had two amazing features. The beautiful camera shots and Sir David Attenborough
This has to be the future. Incredible, it’s like a dream come true.
Germany has also been converting old parking garages into vertical layers of agricultural space (P-patch style) for over a decade now. There is hope for a green future, I just hope we get there!
@@Member3285 for sure. It gives me hope, at times when I think about global warming it’s just so depressing. I really needed to see/hear about the progress being made. I don’t believe it’s the one and only solution, but I’m so grateful there are brilliant people working towards making this planet better in places big enough to really make a difference.
Taking down a natural forest and creating something at this level will be expensive and for sure it must be coming at high environment cost. Can you please explain more.
@@tom-y1520 I imagine the forest was taken down long ago to build the city. I believe the point is trying to reintroduce the forest so that there is both forest and city able to coexist in the same place at the same time.
@@tom-y1520 they’re already building these things, expensive or not. I think the money spent reintroducing flora and fauna is a worthy investment for the health of our planet and future generations.
I love his voice. It's like a Buddhist early morning chanting that rejuvenate inner power and peace. So simple yet very powerful to make you believe every word comes out of his mouth. 🙏 Bless you
"voice"
The problem is, if the sound effect is above the content, then it's going to be difficult if you're not just into sound effect.
Bless you and thank you for making our planet a better place because of you Sir David Attenborough
I was thinking I'm the only one like David voice and style of speaking..but I see in comments ..lots of people like it..I'm happy..You are doing great David!!!
It's... It's beautiful.
