Singapore is the 192nd-largest country in the world. It’s tinier than Tonga and just 3/5 the area of New York City. So it's easy to see that land is the country’s most cherished resource and its dearest ambition. Since it became an independent nation 52 years ago, #Singapore has, through assiduous land reclamation, grown in size by almost a quarter: from 224 square miles to 277. But reclaiming land from the ocean has its limits, particularly in the age of a warming planet. Scientists warn that by 2100, sea levels may rise by as much as 6 feet, and furious storms will pound our coasts. All over the world, the governments of small islands are working to respond to these hazards. But Singapore, home to 5.6 million, is a special case: a country that’s also a city, a government that owns 90% of all real estate, a one-party state in all but name. How it fends off the ocean will be of deep interest to many other major cities near the water: New York, Miami, Rio de Janeiro, Mumbai and Guangzhou — all miniature nations of a sort.
