This is to address issues that will be caused by the change in climate in the near future and to prepare Singapore for it. Extreme weather fluctuations and fast city development made the government saw the need to achieve a new sustainable city and economic system through engineering. The writer quoted that engineering solutions to sustainability will be important for Singapore to make it's green growth vision and the dream of becoming the world's first digital city come true.
