Singapore

[mark willhoit]

Singapore is one of the most dense cities in the world. Why can't Corvallis have building codes and laws like Singapore. When a new building is built it has to incorporate in the building the same amount of land growing space that it displaces. I'm not sure I explained this very clearly but look it up it's just incredible. I'm just watching a show called the human footprint on OPB and it has a good section on Singapore I'm sure there are other sources it's just amazing. Mark w

The urban jungle is the name of this particular show in this series

Not entirely the same, but Benton Soil and Water with the Greenbelt Land Trust just launched their Nature Neighbors program (https://nature-neighbors.org) which gives Benton county residents a lot of tools for creating meaningful green space on their property.  Not the same as working it into building codes, but gives individuals some guidance on getting started.
