This interactive map is tons of fun! It calculates population around any point. There are 405,152 people a 3km radius in the Punggol-Sengkang, which shows how densely populated the area is.

Look at the transport amenities - 239 bus stops and 28 metro and train stops (MRT and LRT stations).

How does this show economic sustainability of an urban neighbourhood?

Locate another point on the interactive map e.g. an area in central Africa. 

Why would the population size be lower and fewer transport amenities available?
