How big is Singapore?

The area of Singapore is 7.33 million square kilometers.

Singapore is located on a major waterway in Southeast Asia, and its unique geographical position has laid an important foundation for its development. Since15th century, Singapore has been an important trade center, attracting businessmen and residents from different cultural backgrounds. As time goes by, Singapore can attract more foreign investment and talents, thus rapidly developing into one of the global trade and financial centers.

Due to the limited land resources, Singapore has continuously introduced innovative measures to solve the space problem. For example, paying close attention to the problem of land use, using most vacant land for residential and industrial purposes, and making rational use of land can solve the problems caused by small area.

Also actively carry out land recycling and greening plans to create a new situation of "garden city". By building parks and public spaces in public and private areas, residents will be provided with a more comfortable and healthy living environment.
