Recommendable, but this video is more than two years old! However, also notice the uniform and boring looks of the high rise residential buildings in Singapore. The city state has been adding to its area through vast land reclamation efforts. It's water catchment sea water desalination is also very impressive. Maybe too much government planning and too little organic, voluntary, and spontaneous growing?
Is the trend to more urbanization really so inevitable as this video suggests? I would argue that the advances in technology suggest otherwise. Take the featured Singapore company Sustenir Agriculture as an example. Their mission is "Our mission is to change food for good by growing impossible produce in impossible places." Well, rural areas are "impossible places" too or are they not? Vertical farming or aquaculture are possible anywhere.
Wireless power supply anyone? Kindergarten and primary school children are learning robotics.
