Singapore was designed from the start as a British colony in 1819 until it became an independent nation today. The country has also shown that having a long-term vision is essential to making a successful city. Although built on a patch of marshland that looks unusable, the City of Singapore is known for its innovative architecture with its artificial green spaces that thrive in the middle of the city.
This city has been developed with a unique way to manage waste and air conditioning. The current policy is to create some independent cities so that they do not depend entirely on the infrastructure of the city center. This is to maximize land use by building land reclamation, embracing technology, and prioritizing housing development.

Sustainability systems are also at the core of Copenhagen’s architecture, the buildings having sustainable drainage networks, rainwater recycling schemes, the use of green roofs and efficient waste management systems.

The next neatest city in the world is Zurich, whose transportation system is often dubbed the best in the world. Buses, trains, trams, and ferries come frequently, work compactly, and are quite affordable. Urban planners also seek to emphasize the divide between urban and recreation. Then, the success of the city’s transit network means fewer cars on the streets.
As a result, the city’s accident rate is low, pollution levels are low, and there is less need for parking which is quite annoying. Zurich is also a leader for climate change action, a title the city has earned by reducing car use, funding renewable research, and reducing its per capita carbon footprint.

The city was bombed during World War II and then quickly rebuilt by the government to bring about great economic growth in the 1950s. Dusseldorf is well connected along with several rail systems, including local Rheinbahn services, Rhein-Ruhr S-Bahn and Deutsche Bahn routes for long distances.
Dusseldorf is a city center for innovative architecture, especially for the Neue Zollhoff or ‘Gehry Buildings’ located in the harbour. The building is a redevelopment project to bring the harbor town to life and stands out with its unique curves.
