Urban design is the process of shaping the physical and social aspects of a city to make it more livable, sustainable, and attractive. It involves planning, designing, and managing the buildings, streets, parks, public spaces, and infrastructure of a city. Urban design affects how we experience and interact with our urban environment. It influences our health, happiness, productivity, and well-being.

However, not all cities are designed equally. Some cities face many challenges and problems due to poor or outdated urban design. One such city is New York. New York is one of the most famous and influential cities in the world. It is a global center of culture, finance, media, and entertainment. It is also home to more than 8 million people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. However, New York also suffers from many issues related to urban design. Its public transportation system is inefficient, unreliable, and expensive. Its greenery and biodiversity are limited, unevenly distributed, and under threat. Its governance and policies are often short-sighted, reactive, and divisive.

Singapore is a small island nation with a population of about 5.7 million people. It is a global hub of trade, finance, technology, and innovation. It is also known for its multiculturalism, stability, and quality of life. Singapore has achieved remarkable success in its urban design.
