Dense urban areas with mixed residential, commercial and retail spaces all within walking distance of each other are the antithesis of Le Corbusier’s vision of a perfect city. He would have been appalled by Singapore, if possibly less appalled than by Paris which he would have liked to raze to the ground and rebuild.

Singapore is only dense in the vertical dimension, it's not dense in the horizontal dimensions.
Please, and for the last time, look at "unité d'habitation" and how it has inspired many developments in Singapore.
