Singapore: small tropical island and dynamic city, where some of Asia's Tallest buildings tower over modest quayside shophouses. Few landscapes, coastlines have been transformed as rapidly as those of Singapore. Seen from the air, the island revealed as a spectacular landscape of intricate patterns, rich textures and diverse colors. Stunning images show the true and unexpected variety of this city-state, providing a fresh perspective from which to view its landmarks and to explore the less-well-known sights of its industry, agriculture and outlying islands.

In 2015, Singapore marks the 50th anniversary of its independence, and the United Nations (UN) the 70th anniversary of its founding. This book celebrates 50 years of a mutually beneficial relationship between Singapore and the UN.
