Singapore Chronicles: Environment documents Singapores journey towards greater environmental sustainability, biodiversity, and public cleanliness. Drawing on the experiences of two government institutions: the National Parks Board and the National Environment Agency, the book also assesses Singapores achievements towards the building of a sustainable garden city.

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of Singapores Independence, the Institute of Policy Studies and Straits Times Press jointly launched the Singapore Chronicles series in 2015.

This 50-volume series seeks to record, explain and offer insights into what makes Singapore, Singapore. Covering a wide range of subjects, from the philosophical to the mundane, the fundamental to the practical, these Singapore Chronicles titles include Constitution, Presidency, Housing, Transport, Demography, CPF, Sports and Food. Each volume in this series will serve as a primer on the subject.

Written by leading experts, they will focus on key aspects of the subject, providing analysis as well as a historical account. Readers will gain an insight into what makes Singapore tick and also why it has chosen certain paths un-trodden.
