Abstract
Reconceptualising the construction of Garden Cities in Singapore from the perspective of the history of urban development and urbanization, in conjunction with the development and trends of vertical greening systems. To summarise the principles of development in modern ecosystems in the context of rapid urbanisation and high population density trends: 1. Long-term planning and adherence to ecological principles are required for urban construction and development. 2. Urban development should insist on controlling and guiding the urbanisation process. 3. Strong executive and coordination capacity of the government is an essential force for the development of new cities. 4. The cultivation of urban culture is required to be initiated by the government to promote social consensus and directing the power of the public. 5. Respond to the trend of the times and make flexible use of science and technology (vertical ecosystems) to solve urban problems.
