Singapore only has an area of just 680 sq km.
The government has to make sure there is sufficient land set side for industries, infrastructure, water catchment and military needs.
There must also be room for 800,000 more homes, to add to the current 1 million.
At the same time, offer Singaporeans quality living: by carving out more parks and greenery to soften the city's hard edges, by preserving quaint neighbourhoods like Joo Chiat and Anak Bukit to give the city character and keep its heritage, and by offering exciting new lifestyles.
Therefore, the government built high rise buildings so that it can hold many people yet take up less space.
For example, a very common sight in Singapore, the HDB flats.
Its does not take up much land as it had many floors building high up, which is the reason why there are many people living in HDB flats.
This helps to reduce the use of land which in turn can give Singapore more land to use, and also give the people places to live without using much land.


Advantage : Lesser land will be used, and there will also be more places for people to live in Singapore due to the high rise buildings.

Disadvantage: There would still be a need to create more and more buildings for more people to live in.
