Singapore Map Poster: an island city-state, perfectly mapped

Why Singapore works so well as a map poster

Singapore is one of the rare cities where you can capture almost the entire country on a single poster. The island sits at the tip of the Malay Peninsula, surrounded by water, which gives the map a natural frame most cities lack: every street, reservoir and park fits.

From above you notice things you miss at ground level: the perfectly planned new towns, the network of reservoirs and green corridors, the port and Changi bookending the island, Marina Bay sitting on the south coast like a jewel and Sentosa dangling to the south-west.

Best palettes for Singapore

  • Emerald City — Singapore is the Garden City; every park, reservoir and boulevard pops with life.
  • Ocean — surrounded by water and defined by its coastline; the blues make the strait and the reservoirs the stars.
  • Gradient Roads — a modern, technical look for a hyper-organised, futuristic city.

Where to centre the map and which radius to use

Centre on Marina Bay with a 10 km radius and most of the island fits; go down to 4 km for a poster focused on the bay, the Padang, Chinatown and the river.

Which size to print

City maps with lots of fine streets reward size: 30×40 cm is the sweet spot for a desk or hallway, 50×70 cm and 60×90 cm turn the map into a statement piece where individual streets remain legible from across the room. Stick to matte paper so the dark palettes do not reflect. Read the printing and framing guide.
