Thus, the price of land is naturally much more expensive, which might also affect the economic system of Singapore as many locals would consider developing their buisnesses in other countries to save money.

Now, lets take a look at the agriculture system in Singapore.

As there is no room for the development, Singapore's government has to buy food and other resources from other neighbouring countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand.

Other than that, we think that constructing buildings underground will free up more land and space for housing developments too. Although it is possible, it comes with a high price.

Finally, we think that the thought put into brainstorming of ways to increase Singapore's land consumes a lot of time and needs alot of funding, but nonetheless, land must be increased to create space for more Singaporeans as our population is growing, and many foreigners are also migrating to Singapore to make a living.

Land reclamation can be harmful to surrounding corals and marine life. Corals are usually moved to another place when land is to be reclaimed. The corals might not be able to survive in that foreign habitat, and thus dies.

In some countries, where the project is in large-scale, they do not even bother to re-plant the corals elsewhere, instead just reclaim the land on their habitat, causing them to die immediately.

Marine life, such as fishes, might not have enough food after the underwater plantations are destroyed due to reclamation of land. This also affects the food chain.

The waters might also be polluted from the soil used to reclaim land, causing the fishes to die and blocking out sunlight, depriving the aquatic plants of necessary sunlight. Marine habitats are also destroyed, as mentioned earlier; therefore, the marine creatures would be forced to move to another new habitat. Some might not be able to adapt, and thus die out. Some would just die without even finding a new habitat, as they cannot move long distances in water.

Of course, the reasons and examples look tempting to us humans, but marine life is life too.

With more land, more buildings and structures can be built, and also for other purposes. In Singapore, land reclamation is intense, and reclaimed land is everywhere as the need for more land is highly prioritised. The reclaimed land is used to build Marina Bay, which is the location of Integrated Resorts, financial centers and the Singapore Flyer, a ferris wheel. The world-famous Changi Airport is also built on reclaimed land on the eastern coast of Singapore.

Basically, reclamation is to create new land thus increasing the area of a country by filling the sea into riverbeds with sand, also known as landfilling.

The creation of land requires a large amount of work and is costly too. Materials such as sand and mud have to be imported from other countries, mostly from Malaysia and Indonesia.

Singapore has increased 20% of it's original land but more work must be done to create more space for development purposes. Some of this land are used for facilities such as MRTs, and commercial and industrial activities.
