consideration of the current design of our rooftops, our group has proposed that only barbeque (BBQ) pits and gardens be placed. 2. Background Singapore is a small nation with a limited amount of space for development to house its ever growing population. To deal with this problem, Singapore has been trying to reclaim land as well as made many innovative constructions like the Housing Development Board (HDB) flats. The HDB flats in particular have allowed Singapore to house its huge population with a relatively small amount of land space used. Despite this, as we look to improve the quality of life of Singaporeans, there is a need for greater land space for recreational use. More so, the land space must be readily accessible to the residents from the various communities of Singapore. 3. Description of main issue Despite the need to have land space readily available and accessible to Singaporeans, it is also difficult to have it. The reasons for such difficulty are listed below. Land Scarcity The first reason for it being difficult is that land is scarce in Singapore. Given the high population density of Singapore, this problem is accentuated when there is a lack of recreational space to accommodate the community at large. An ideal solution would be to get the land space for the different activities for the different age groups within the community to be situated nearby to cater to all. Accessibility
