How does Singapore accommodate its population despite its small land size?

Singapore, with only 736 square kilometers of land (smaller than New York City), is one of the most densely populated places in the world, housing approximately 6 million people. This makes it unique as the only true functioning city-state in the modern world. While this population is considered large for a city, it's relatively small for a country. Singapore has managed to thrive despite its spatial limitations, creating a vibrant metropolitan environment that balances dense urban living with economic prosperity, establishing itself as a significant global player despite its limited geographical footprint.
