It's well known as a green city of course. Being in the wet tropics, and just about on the equator, the plants grow almost uncontrollably.
So many cities have uprooted and replaced them with concrete, but not Singapore - these are in the main tourist area of Orchard Road...
There are also the colours that are very much part of the culture. We were there just after National Day and during one of the many festivals, so there was plenty of vibrant colour decoration, in shops, streets and on many of the buildings...
Even without decoration, the shops are colourful because of the items they display and sell...
The temples are ornate and beautifully decorated
And even without decoration, the streets can be colourful with traders' umbrellas...
Colour is very much a part of the city.

Are the social elements and codes of living that can be categorised as being distinctilvely Singaporean?
LDU, yes in my opinion. It's about 80% Chinese so that's the dominant culture, but Malay and Indian are very much part of the mix. And there's naturally western influence too.
I think the "social elements and codes of living" have a distinctly Singaporean flavour.
Nice photos! I wanna visit!
