The DNA of Singapore
The second city on our voyage of discovery is Singapore: the little red dot that tells one of the world's most unusual and successful examples of modern nation building. Its independence in 1965 unleashed five decades of innovation that have resulted in an unforeseeable transformation. We learn about the program of rapid problem-solving that was pursued by Singapore's visionary founding decision-makers and the vulnerabilities they were forced to mitigate. This evolution is well-documented but listen below or subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Spotify to discover fresh perspectives about what is in The DNA of Singapore that has enabled this remarkable journey.
