The project is based on investigations of resource flows of sand, water, food, labour and energy that bind the city to its surrounding territories. The research and the forthcoming book portray Singapore not as an \u2039island\u203a or a \u2039global city-state\u203a, but as a city tightly connected to its metropolitan region.
