Megastructures - The World’s Most Extreme Railway: • World’s Most Extreme R...
Five million people live in a land area smaller than New York City. To make such a small and highly urbanised place liveable, Singapore is embarking on its most ambitious project to date.
Gardens by the Bay is a mega structure unlike anything else on earth. Three massive gardens - the size of 177 football pitches - will house thousands of plants from all over the planet. Two giant conservatories are to be constructed to protect millions of dollars’ worth of trees, flowers and plants and manmade vertical gardens called Supertrees will stretch as high as 50 metres in to the sky. This is the country’s most ambitious greening project to date and no one has ever attempted such designs before. ‘Gardens by the Bay’ is a awe-inspiring marvel where cutting edge engineering meets the green designs of tomorrow.

Singapore 🇸🇬 5 million people in an area smaller than NYC (and lemme tell you, it's already pretty crowded there especially during the never ending rush hour that is New York)
Gardens by the Bay is a mega structure unlike anything else. Three massive gardens - about the size of 177 football pitches - the soccer kind btw) is home to thousands of plants that were flown in, shipped in and transported in from all around the world. Two giant conservatories were constructed to protect millions of dollars' worth of trees, flowers and plants and manmade vertical gardens they've named supertrees that stretch as high as 50 meters into the sky.
This is the country's most ambitious greening project and no has ever attempted a project on this scope before. Gardens by the Bay is an awe-inspiring marvel where cutting edge engineering meets the green designs of tomorrow.
Some additional facts:
1. The Gardens by the Bay is a urban nature park spanning 110 hectares (270 acres) within the Marina Bay district of the Central Region of Singapore, adjacent to the Marina Reservoir. The park consists of three waterfront gardens: Bay South Garden (in Marina South), Bay East Garden (in Marina East) and Bay Central Garden (in Downtown Core and Kallang).[2] The largest of the gardens is the Bay South Garden at 54 hectares (130 acres) designed by Grant Associates. Its Flower Dome is the largest glass greenhouse in the world
2. Gardens by the Bay was part of the nation's plans to transform its "Garden City" to a "City in a Garden", with the aim of raising the quality of life by enhancing greenery and flora in the city.
3. The conservatory complex at Gardens by the Bay, Singapore, comprises two cooled conservatories - the Flower Dome and the Cloud Forest, situated along the edge of Marina Reservoir. The conservatories, designed by WilkinsonEyre and Grant Associates, are intended to be an energy-efficient showcase of sustainable building technologies and to provide an all-weather edutainment space within the Gardens. Both are very large (around 1 hectare (2.5 acres)) and the Flower Dome is the world's largest columnless glasshouse
4. The Flower Dome is the largest greenhouse in the world as listed in the 2015 Guinness Book of World Records at 1.2 hectares (3.0 acres) and replicates a cool-dry mediterranean climate. It features a changing display, the flower field, and eight other gardens, namely The Baobabs, Succulent Garden, Australian Garden, South African Garden, South American Garden, Olive Grove, California Garden and the Mediterranean Garden. These eight gardens exhibit exotic flowers and plants from the Mediterranean and semi-arid regions from five different continents
5. The Cloud Forest is higher but slightly smaller at 0.8 hectares (2.0 acres). It replicates the cool moist conditions found in tropical mountain regions between 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) and 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) above sea level, found in South-East Asia, Central- and South America.
6. Supertrees are the 18 tree-like structures that dominate the Gardens' landscape with heights that range between 25 metres (82 ft) and 50 metres (160 ft). Here, visitors can also experience a message about the effects of climate change creatively conveyed through digital media.
There are several other gardens to read about and visit, once you're there. It’s been a popular tourist attraction with 1.7 million visitors between June and October 2012, when it opened.
Soon people soon, we'll be able to travel the world freely again. Until then, enjoy traveling there with our docs.
Enjoy!

Muy buen documental saludos desde la República dominicana 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴

Singaporean fan here, thanks for uploading this, for everyone else to see our country😁

I have been to Singapore 3 times and 2 of those times I went through this garden. It no longer looks like this, it has grown a lot and the one on the left (from the water) is now like a rain forest and has a tall structure in the middle of it that you can clime the stairs and almost reach the very top of the building. They had to build this rock like structure so they could have a waterfall. It is very beautiful.
If you ever have a layover in Singapore make sure to visit this place. Of course if you don't have a lot of time you can always visit the gardens at the airport itself. They had just opened the third phase of the exhibit last time i was there but I only had a few hours to go there and back. It was not enough time to see it all.I would suggest after this nasty virus is over and we get back to some kind of normal you make a trip to Singapore and spend 3 or 4 days going to these wonderful gardens and don't forget there are a lot more to see in Singapore. Maybe spend a week.
Lol 😆
Lies again? Evil Angel
I love Singapore such a beautiful place to travel
This is incredible what they do in Singapore, one of my favorite countries in Asia. I would love to visit that country which I am told that it is beautiful and where the locals speak English. Singapore is number 1 in Asia in having a great economy, followed by Japan, just amazing. The government must be doing something right to be such a rich country. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video, I loved it ❤️❤️❤️👌👌👍👍👍🙌🙌🙌👏👏❤️
I've been up in that treetop bar few years ago on a stopover. It was amazing
Wow salute to these engineers 🙋♂️
wow this is amazing, thank you for sharing.
Trust me Singapore is one of the Successful Countries in the world if you go to Marina Bay Sands your Mind will blow how good it is or better yet Sentosa The Famous Staycation Island Places to book in for an hotel or better yet Universal studios
Sustainablility at highest level. I admire the structure team, workers, architects implementation. I am grateful for the film crew too.
Amazing
Amazing 💖 thumbs up for All the worker👍👍
One of the best garden places I have been🌱🌼, I encourage every plant enthusiast to visit this place. Was here last 2017

Love the diversity of this channel.
Yes, this was a good one! Thanks for sharing
i want more videos like this on youtube.
thanks for sharing.
I have been there. The place is AMAZING
Without political stability and good governance, such a world first Nature Park would not be possible. It's an iconic piece of the country all its citizens can be proud of. A salute of gratitude to all who made it possible.
How a amazing document of these outstanding Tree structures 💐
Wow that is beautiful, well planned
Nice ans cool gardens.
This is one of the most beautiful content so far , love it 👌💕
Wonderful video.
amazing
Amazing
wow😍
Would love to go here one day, I actually work in the factory that provide the liquid desiccant system, they used still today, our crew recently assembled another unit for the garden about a year ago.
That is simply amazing , but for some reason it reminds me of Jurassic Park :D
Nothing like real nature
Good Job guys... Keep it up 👍👍👍
Sounds like the laborers were the most important workers to made this happen
Singapore, was my second home
amazing country .wow
24.3.2022.Very good and best.
The construction of the tree trunk is more like building wind turbine
😍
Hi i'm come from Indonesian
Morrow nice video Thank you
Thank you for stopping by to let us know.
Me 2 since last week Sunday I've been checking for deadliest road
Such a beautiful Documentarie
👍💪
I went there almost 2 years ago and wow to see how it was built in pretty incredible. I wish the USA was as put together as Singapore is in the infrastructure and what not. It is so expensive to live there but I understand why.
But USA has lands and has natural gardens and forests unlike Singapore. Woukd you rather go to an artificial one than in a natural one?
@@skyscraper7664 That is very true. However if only the US Government took care of our beautiful country we wouldn't have to worry, I am afraid they are going to keep tearing it down for natural resources and ruin Native lands for profits like they've done for hundreds of years. I guess at least we have ways to "bring it back" to a degree.
@@joshuaw9009 Decades of corrupt liberal administrations have made it difficult to improve and upgrade roads, parks and other infrastructures.
@@skyscraper7664 Another overcompensating, chavinistic, Anglocentric Aussie.
Singapore has areas of original tropical forest right within the heart of the city itself. They are also one of the most biodiverse cities in the world today. Try spending a few days exploring MacRitchie, Central Catchment, Reserve, or the areas of tropical forest on the periphery of the city.
Since your perspective on Singapore is stunted by a rush to judgement based on what you've seen in this video, or if you even visited Singapore at all, what you saw in their main business and tourist areas, need I remind you that Australia continues to destroy your fragments of original forest, and that a higher % of your indigenous fauna and flora are now endangered or threatened than those of ANY other continent? That includes your iconic Koala. Meanwhile invasive European Rabbits, Red Foxes, Brumbies, Water Buffalo, Camels, feral Cattle, feral Dogs, feral Cats, Giant Neotropical Toads, etc, etc, etc, run amok and devastate your native wildlife and ecosystems, despite erratic and ineffectual efforts at limiting their numbers and impact.
In a brief stroll in Singapore's parks, green spaces, and nature reserves, I can with little effort spot more species of wildlife than I could after days or weeks of focused searching in any European city, most of which feature vast expanses of paved over ecological wasteland in which a few concrete entombed street trees arranged in boring artificial geometric pattetns fight a losing struggle for survival. Yet I've yet to see comments under travelogues for these hideous disaster areas pointing out what ecological horrors they are. Ask yourself, why do you feel so threatened by a biophilic Asian city? As for the USA (my country of birth, by the way), we are a very sparsely populated and very young nation compared to cities such as Singapore (which existed long before it was colonized by the brits). Yet in our brief history, we wiped out dozens of species of native animals and plants, and cut down most of the primary forests in the Eastern US, while creating the Dust Bowl through gross mismanagement of tallgrass prairie ecosystems.
@@joshuaw9009 If as appears to be the case, you didn't visit any of Singapore's nature reserves, check out any of the many videos here of Bukit Timah, Kranji Marshes, Central Catchment, and MacRitchie (at both ground and tree canopy level).
Singapore has over 10 extensive nature reserves and nature parks, none of which are even mentioned in this excellent video. No European city even comes close, and in the US, only NYC and the Greater San Francisco Bay Area have comparable or greater areas of nature reserves and nature parks.
Singapore is a constant work in progress, and the city's very busy planners are redesigning their city to allow all residents access to a nature reserve, nature park, green space, or wildlife corridor within a 10 minute stroll by 2030.
I am eagerly waiting for Deadliest Roads docs,do upload that.
That’s nice. You’ll have to wait a bit. But more will come.
This is an exceptionally well made structure. Too bad the supertress aren't fully functional post covid
After watching many of these never seen before engineering fits one thing that stands out is unconventional methods at times end up being the only way out

Deadlist road plisss
The irony of destroying an actual forest to build a fake one.
Yeah I’m not quite sold on the usefulness either. The technology: sure. And hopefully it’s helpful and brings progress for other live saving things..
i wouldn't say it's a natural forest because nearly the entire marina bay is built on reclaimed land but yeah it is sad to see trees being grown temporarily only to be cut down for a man-made forest and the economic growth.
Do people actually realize that Singapore bought their reclaim land soil from neighbouring countries like Indonesia and Malaysia? Those countries destroy their forests to harvest the land to be sold to singapore.
Sure the tech is impressive but at what cost? It's not like Singapore is in the middle of the desert, they are a tropical island with lush rainforest originally.
i don’t think a good part of the world knows that SG buys soil and thinks that the land is already there tbh. the government does a good job in hiding this industry from the world. however, SG shot into the limelight when a documentary about sand dredging cambodian rivers in 2019 surfaced and alot started pointing fingers
i’m singaporean myself and believe most of the people here know that we simply buy soil year after year. i’d say a good 1/4 of SG today is reclaimed land which includes the entire changi airport, marina bay and tuas mega port
Only in Singapore, where our govt wants to destroy natural forests for "nature forest"

That dome operated by a airconditioner right?
Yes
Yep. One single home grade aircondironer unit. Remarkable!
but why are you showing it now? its too late it was functional before i left singapore and its way long. you should have shown it 6 years ago. but its heaven on earth i suggest people go and visit this place and whole of singapore. i really miss those days.
We’re showing it now because it still exists, it’s still a megastructure worth reporting about. And unless you’ve been there, not that many people percentage wise even know about let alone heard about. Now a few more do thanks to this documentary.
I would rather go to a jungle safari to watch some real nature.
@@abhinavsrivastava8615 Still, do you have to repeat the same thing in every other peoples' comments? Singapore has no jungle safari so they are building this for their citizens and those interested to come and appreciate it. This garden is built not especially for you though.
@@catterr oh did i violate youtube's guidelines by posting to multiple comments? every country doesn't have to have everything, if we want to see sand, we will go to dessert, we don't make a dessert everywhere and this junk is not even created for it's own people, it's created for foreign tourists. Singapore has real natural beauty which should be presented rather than pieces of steel. Pockets of amazing nature can be found throughout
Singapore, it ha beautiful Islands, there’s Mount Faber and HortPark, Punggol Waterway, 87 hectare Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve is loaded with incredible biodiversity. Natural stuff is more beautiful and sustainable than fake steel cages. But again, as i said, not every one has great taste, some do like to watch caged animals and now trees as well.
@@abhinavsrivastava8615 It's called GARDENs By The Bay so don't expect it to be nature kind of stuff. If you don't like it no need to insult other people's creation by calling it a junk. This video is to show the engineering side of it anyway.
Where are the waterfalls? Kinda anti climatic literally and figuratively in the end but I just saw a slice of the finished hopefully
Apparently they finished them later.
Take a shot every time he says the word engineer
why no dangerous road documentries.
Because Singapore have got no dangerous roads
I don't understand why present tense is used. I visited the gardens three years ago and I assume they were completed a long time before!
Old show.
I think they just uploaded this now in YT. Was also there years back
Who is the architect
such extravagant spending for a country that doesn't have a big GDP, how long will it last before the debt is due to be repaid? nearly 5x the GDP for a developed nation is quite a bit more than Tokyo, well known for it's debt.
It’s from over a decade ago and still standing
SAME AS "Constructing Iconic Elaborate Gardens In Singapore | Megastructures: Gardens By The Bay | Spark"
this garden preaches anti-global warming messages like they transport everything necessary to build this garden by *literal* teleportation like it’s star trek 😂
Hello
Please give me translate to Indonesian
Ini bagus sekali.
They still using windows XP.
It's an old documentary.
Even it's so amazing how it has been constructed in such complicated installation with all these hard-work engineers and onsite-workers, It still looks like a project a spoiled kid makes his dream comes true. Economically it's not efficient, the winner is the designers...Certainly not “green” and sustainable.
As a California resident I propose my state to gift to Singapore a sequoia redwood.
Why...?
Why what?
It looks like a very costly zoo for plants and trees, no offence but I would rather go to jungle safari if I want to see real nature. Somehow artificial things made from concrete don't impress me. Just like in Dubai, they have built a place to ski inside a mall i think, i think i will go to mountains if i have to ski. But other people will visit this zoo as well in huge numbers, some people do like stuff like that. They even go to zoo to watch caged animals too.
There are heaps of parks and natural spaces in Singapore if you are interested. The centre of Singapore is basically a nature reserve set aside for water catchment. Check out Singapore on Google Maps and you'll see the green centre.
So glad you said this Abhinav, humans are messing with nature far too much. While all these constructions might be nice, cool, awesome, out of this world, it’s wrong. Why can’t people be happy with what God created for us instead of having to mess with nature?! Humans have done more damage and continue to do so at fast speeds than any other animal on this planet. All out of greed and power!
@@jayceec3178 It feels good to see like minded people.
i do not share the same sentiment/opinion as you - as i have gardens and i appreciate the gardeners working there - but i also have the same negative review for that garden for their audacity to preach anti-global warming messages
@@jayceec3178without this you won’t have internet, entertainment, and development of education, healthcare, and technology, mind you
Maybe he put 🐍 on the garden lol
Just imagine if usa stopped wasting trillions of our tax dollars on building military bases abroad and provided jobs for people at home while bringing billions of tourist dollars if we built beautiful gardens like this in ever major city!!?
You know that Singapore is aggressively capitalist and authoritarian, yes? And requires success in business of its prime ministers?
HAHA with what is happening in the world now i think you are living in a dream world.
haha india too much drama :P
un-natural.
Well it will be under water in 30 years!!! So no sence
The marvelous detective fifthly compete because bull socially ruin despite a brawny algeria. vague, funny submarine
Why are they showing this now when it was built like years ago? Lol
Cuz they recently got the rights and license to post and have people view these documentaries
An artificial garden with a lot of concrete
I see many trees but not concrete.
Maybe you do not know how to differentiate between trees and concrete.
Their Co-Generation System makes the greenhouse more energy efficient but just how much carbon do they release into the atmosphere with burning tree trimmings? We now have more weight in artificial structures than the entire worlds biomass weight. When are we going to stop?
I agree, It looks like a very costly zoo for plants and trees, no offence but I would rather go to jungle safari if I want to see real nature.
Jason, you asked when are they going to stop. They’ll stop when they’ve destroyed this beautiful world. They can’t keep messing with nature, year after year, decade after decade and expect the world to remain the same!
It is totally perverse to describe any part of this project as being sustainable. It has been a boom for some engineering firms and a ego trip for some politicians and destroyed and consumed immense amounts of natural resources to provide the raw materials. A mangrove forest with native plants perfectly adopted to the climate would have been sustainable, but harder to fix a name plague to. The mangroves could have been planted by school children as part of connecting them to the real nature.
The melodic gear fundamentally invent because game demographically flood along a brainy word. whispering, lush reindeer
The complete babies pharmacodynamically march because wrecker uniformly disagree midst a elfin statement. narrow, chilly chill
The juvenile otter analytically cheer because atom topically drag abaft a materialistic fisherman. disastrous, gigantic sale

It's condescending how they would put subtitles to locals speaking English. Sorry [but not] if our brand of English doesn't meet your high quality standard way of speaking.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of Sinkaporeans speak with so heavy an accent it makes the enunciation of words hard to understand.
@@sktoh4469 It is Singaporeans, please. Tq
It's not "condescending." It's for an international audience. Many of them won't even be native English speakers themselves!
It's 'Singlish'
You can say that.
Amazes me how these few people called politicians can get away with spending billions of their countries money while rouhly 8% of population live in poverty, i f you can believe the chinese govertment.
What? Singapore is not in China...
@@phoebetan7519 totally agreed ... ppl need to know their geography before commenting please
Take a crash course in geography before you post comments about Singapore. Singapore is not part of China. Singapore is not communist country. Get it right before you post anything !!
Meanwhile, the poverty rate in the US is 10.5%...
Haha...Geography FAIL.
Singapore is a nice Country but boring
Nothing nice to see! It's all fake / artificial and man made! Man made gardens can be built everywhere, but true unique if it is natural!
Then you should migrate to another country with many things to see. Stop talking bad about your own country. This will makes you look bad
That's why it's called garden and named as Gardens By The Bay. If you have a lawn you would plant trees and flower plants to create a garden, would you? Otherwise it would just be a lawn.
@@capricorn839 As a Singaporean too, I do agree.
