This is an example of an amazing project, first announced to the public by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong during the National Day Rally in August 2005. Gardens by the Bay is a park spanning 250 acres of reclaimed land in Singapore on the edge of the Marina Reservoir. The park consists of three waterfront gardens: Bay South Garden, Bay East Garden and Bay Central Garden. The largest of the three gardens is Bay South Garden, at 130 acres.
Gardens by the Bay is part of a strategy by Singapore’s National Parks Board to transform the city of Singapore from a “Garden City” to a “City in a Garden”. Their mission statement is to raise the quality of life by enhancing greenery and flora in the city.
