Architecture and interior design thread

Whether it's a fair comparison with London, I guess so.

Really? You think so?? You think Singapore can be compared directly to London? Singapore is riding the crest of an economic wave. Let's see what happens when that wave crashes. I wonder what mental state many Singaporeans are in, considering how densely packed in they seem to be. A quick google suggest mental health treatment in Singapore falls well short of other services provided...

Using Singapore as a distraction from the argument against high-density, low quality social housing, is to invoke a straw man. The discussion here concerns housing here in London, specifically, and I see no examples of where such architectural design and planning has worked well. Indeed, another quick google of London housing estates throws up myriad images of narsty council estates. Which kind of proves my original point re RGH.

I've bin to many of the places depicted in this collection, and all of them have bin narsty in one way or another:
