Evaluating the Achievement of Singapore's Environmental Policy Goals for Enhanced Sustainability and Livability through Big Data Analysis

In the face of rapid urbanization and increasing environmental concerns, the imperative of achieving sustainable development has become a global priority. Singapore, a pioneering advocate of innovative urban planning and governance, has emerged as a beacon of sustainability and livability through its strategic environmental policies. This research employs big data analysis to evaluate the extent to which Singapore's environmental policy goals have contributed to enhanced sustainability and livability. By curating and analyzing datasets spanning urban development, environmental quality, resource management, and societal well-being, this study quantitatively assesses policy outcomes. The analysis highlights both achievements and challenges within Singapore's policy framework. The research reveals an increase in population density, impacting resource allocation and urban development. Moreover, a rise in methane emissions and decreasing freshwater resources per capita present significant sustainability challenges. Conversely, efforts such as waste-to-energy initiatives and the active, beautiful, clean waters programme have contributed positively to emissions reduction and water resource enhancement.
