The Blueprint For A City In The Garden Analysis

The central leadership provided by the late Prime Minister of this island state set the blueprint for a City in the Garden. When executing the blueprint, this central planning approach also created green spaces and brought back biodiversity in the island which could otherwise become a concrete city with rapid urbanisation and industrialisation taking place to meet the needs of her dense population. Innovation could thus be inferred from the careful selection of trees to plant in midst concrete structures to created pockets of nature within the built up city. The inference of these policy approaches could serve as useful reference for other cities facing similar constraints when urbanising and in planning their city development.
However, the
This example showed an interesting across supply chain effects arising from the interaction of local corporate and consumer actions toward the regional haze caused by overseas producers whose environmentally unsustainable production methods brought harm to the surrounding environment. The actions of these local companies could signal an inner desire to get a green reputation among their customers. Hence while government policies could drive producers through policy levers like legislation, inner drivers originating from the producers could propel them to take action toward environmental sustainability. This could also be part of the global corporate social responsibility posited by Carroll [61] where globalisation expanded the communal focus of the corporations to include the host countries where they operated. Future studies could be conducted to better understand the drivers for sustainable production and the producers’ effects on environmental sustainability as proposed in the contextual influence model in Figure
