Mongolia
Mongolia is the most sparsely populated independent country in the world.
With a population of around 2.9 million people, about half of Mongolia’s population live as nomads. A large proportion live in the capital, Ulaanbaatar, the only city in Mongolia with a population over 100,000 people.
Rapid urbanisation and industrialisation has transformed a population that was 78% rural in 1956 to 58% urban by 1990.
Singapore
Singapore is an island 42 km wide by 23 km north to south.
Before the arrival of Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, Singapore was a small fishing village surrounded by jungle. In time, the jungle gave way to building programs to house the local, and eventually colonial, government. The oldest part of the city is Fort Canning, a hilltop park and many existing buildings date from the 1800s.
