MARINGÁ, Paraná, Brazil
Population Municipality: 331.412 (IBGE/2008)
Population Metropolitan Area: 591.150 (IBGE/2008)
Brazilian cities don't have huge sprawling green suburbs. The urban pattern is completely different. Maringá is maybe the greenest city in Brazil.

SINGAPORE
Within the urban areas of Singapore, greenery is incorporated as much as possible into the urbanscape in some of the following ways:
1) Parks (can be full scale parks, smaller gardens or interim green fields)
2) Park-connectors (networks of linear pedestrian paths linking parks. Frequently found beside canals or built over canals, thus saving space and adding greenery)
3) Streetside-landscaping
4) Sky gardens and green roofs.
5) Urban design controls (planning requirements imposed on developers mean they may set aside space for outdoor landscaping and open plazas)
Examples:
A park in the civic district
