La Verdad Sobre Singapur: Riqueza, Control y Ciudad del Futuro - Arquitecto Explica Claro #60

Today we're recording from Bangkok with Miguel Vélez, a Spanish architect who has worked in Singapore, the Middle East, and Thailand. We talk about Singapore, a fishing village transformed into a city of the future: wealth, order, control, skyscrapers, and a model that functions almost like a corporation. We also analyze Bangkok, urban chaos, housing in Asia, kilometer-tall skyscrapers, earthquakes, modern architecture, and why many cities are no longer built to last. A conversation about cities, power, money, beauty, and the future of urban life. Is Singapore the model to follow, or is the price of order too high? 🤝 Defend the Truth, Support the Best Journalism, and become a channel member:    / @davidjimenezeldirector   YOU CAN FOLLOW ME ON MY SOCIAL MEDIA: Twitter:   / davidjimeneztw   Instagram:   / davidjimenezeldirector   LinkedIn:   / david-jim%c3%a9nez-991a577b   Facebook:   / davidjimenezperiodista   YOU CAN BUY MY BOOKS HERE: https://www.amazon.es/stores/author/B...
