Option 3

 * Article title
 * Urban planning in Singapore


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article talks a significant amount about some of the small things, but have little to do with how everything fits together. The article also needs to be redone so that it has a neutral viewpoint, and some of the sections have little to no sources.
