" If you can visit just a few places in Singapore, I would strongly recommend you to have a look here in the Singapore City Gallery. Island model, central area model with buildings in future planning, city planning games... Very interesting especially when you are interested in this subject.

It shows marvelous urban city planning strategies with its rich exhibition resources. Hong Kong should envy and learn from Singapore for its world-class urban planning while Singapore should envy Hong Kong for its having so many lands despite its constant whining for being not enough. "

" The Singapore City Gallery was established in 1999 and showcases Singapore’s substantial transformation to become one of the most recognised city landscapes in Asia.

The Singapore City Gallery invites visitors to come and see the city’s architectural plans and landmarks portrayed through miniature models. This provides insight into the planning of the city as well as future developments undertaken by Singaporean authorities. "

" Visiting Singapore? This is a extremely good "First thing to do in Singapore" as it gives you an idea of the overall growth of the country through the ages and how many diverse cultures co-exist in Singapore. Added plus is the Maxwell food court located off the road to the URA centre.

Free guided tours are available for last Saturdays of all months. "

" EXCELLENT beyond the doubt museum and city planning gallery. The Singapore city center and whole island models are very impressive. After seeing these models one will understand that Singapore's 5.5m population is housed at less than 1/3 of the area - the rest is dedicated to parks, industry and military facilities.

If you are interested in urban planning and want to understand how Singapore become what it is in last several decades - this place is must stop. "

" A great experience through the history of how Singapore was transformed from a small tropical island into a cosmopolitan city. Free entry and really insightful. I was so caught up in the material, I read almost everything - took me just over 2 hours. Engaging content on how Singapore maximized the usage of it's limited land - including reclaiming land, digging underground and creating multi-use features. Highly recommended!! "
