I would like to declare the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in the development of my infographic. Generative AI tools (ChatGPT) were used for idea refinement, text editing, and visual layout guidance. AI assistance supported structuring the content (e.g., challenge–solution–impact), refining language for clarity, and suggesting visual elements.
The core concept, research basis (including the case study of Palazzo Italia, Milan), sustainability framing, and final design decisions were independently developed by me. All content was reviewed, edited, and finalised by me. In addition, the core concept and motivation for this work are original and personally inspired. Having grown up in Delhi, where severe air pollution is a lived and persistent challenge, the problem addressed in this infographic draws directly from my own experiences.

"Air-Purifying Building Facades for Urban Air Quality explores how innovative architectural design can help cities tackle growing air pollution challenges. Many major urban centers such as Delhi, Beijing, and Jakarta experience severe smog that affects public health and contributes to climate stress. This infographic presents photocatalytic building facades as a sustainable solution that transforms ordinary structures into active air-cleaning surfaces. When exposed to sunlight, the facade’s coating breaks down pollutants through chemical reactions and releases cleaner air back into the environment.

The concept supports healthier, more resilient cities by mitigating emissions and improving overall air quality. It directly connects to key Sustainable Development Goals: SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) through cleaner urban environments, SDG 13 (Climate Action) by reducing pollution sources, and SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure) by promoting innovative, sustainable building technologies. The infographic aims to increase awareness of how design and engineering innovations can contribute to a cleaner urban future."

This infographic highlights a simple but important idea: military capability does not have to come at the expense of sustainability. Traditional patrol flights burn large amounts of fuel, emit significant CO₂, and generate substantial noise, contributing to climate change and reduced urban liveability. The aerostat, however, offers a far cleaner alternative. Lifted by helium and operating without continuous combustion engines or repeated take-offs, it delivers continuous surveillance with minimal emissions and minimal noise. This shows that advanced defence systems can strengthen national security while supporting sustainability goals. The aerostat embodies climate action (SDG 13), enhances urban well-being (SDG 11), and reflects innovative, resource-efficient technology (SDG 9).

"I'm only one person, my actions are too small to matter. Authorities should take responsibility." This is a sentiment I often hear from peers and online users. Although it’s true that authorities play a major role in sustainability, people often underestimate individuals' impact. After all, the human race is in the end a collective of individuals whose combined actions shape our Earth. That's why this infographic aims to call both individuals and authorities into action to save our beloved ocean. 
This infographic presents 6 total actions we can take, touching upon both SDG 11 and 14, with the actions including but not limited to reducing ocean waste, protecting marine life, and green city planning to cut emissions. To emphasize and subconsciously encourage people when they’re reading this infographic, the illustration was drawn in a more dynamic and engaging manner while incorporating relevant ocean elements and keeping texts at a minimum. (150 words)

“Say No to Overfishing” shows how unsustainable fishing hurts the ocean, people and the entire ecosystem. It highlights the problem of overfishing, and that the share of sustainable fish stocks has been falling over time. It then focuses on why we should give our attention to this problem. Reduction of fish stocks not only leads to "no food", but also "no jobs" for the coastal communities. It even harms the future of the entire eco-system. To solve the problem, we need to ensure sustainable fishing, which consists of three pillars: People, Stock and Ecosystem. This poster also highlights current and potential solutions that consumers, fisheries, and governments around the world can adopt. Together, these ideas support SDG 14: Life Below Water and also strengthen food security and resilient coastal cities under SDG 2 and SDG 11.

To achieve SDG 14, this infographic offers strategies for mitigating the effects of coral reef degradation, particularly the problem of rising water levels and increased coastal vulnerability. Communities are more vulnerable to flooding and storm surges when there are fewer reefs. In order to reconstruct damaged ecosystems and restore their essential wave-breaking function, the infographic highlights coral restoration initiatives like large-scale planting campaigns and 3D-printed reef structures. These solutions directly support SDG 14 aims to conserve and sustainably use marine resources by safeguarding infrastructure, maintaining marine biodiversity, and increasing coastal resilience.  The infographic also relates to SDG 11 by emphasizing how restored reefs protect people, lessen expensive flood damage, and assist long-term adaptation methods for cities confronting the effects of rising water levels due to reef depletion.

As a psychology major, I wanted to explore how city design can shape the way we think and feel. NeuroUrbanism combines neuroscience and sustainability to show that urban spaces doesn’t just have detrimental effects on the planet, but they affect our minds too. Constant noise, crowding, and lack of greenery heighten stress and raise the risk of anxiety and mood disorders, while access to sunlight, trees, and community spaces helps people feel calmer and more connected. This idea links to SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and SDG 13 (Climate Action). A truly sustainable city is one that cares for its people as much as it cares for the environment.

An unseen hazard and major source of microplastics, Tire Wear Particles (TWP) are created by friction between tires and roads. Our comic-style infographic uses a clear storyboard to raise awareness through visually appealing and memorable graphics. It shows how our EcoSieve intercepts TWP during rain and turns captured pollution into energy. Flow passes sequentially through a Coarse Filter to stop large trash, a Depth Filter to trap fine particles, and a Biosorbent Bed that captures microplastics and other pollutants. A Smart Sensor Puck prompts timely cassette replacement, while a Smart Bypass maintains drainage and prevents ponding. Valorisation of spent food waste creates the biosorbent bed via pyrolysing Spent Coffee Grounds, Brewer’s Spent Grains and Okara into a blend of iron-magnetised and normal biochar. When due for replacement, biosorbent cassettes are processed for energy recovery into biofuels, closing the circular loop. SDGs tackled: 3, 6, 7, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.

This infographic highlights how NTU advances sustainability by recognising that tackling the climate crisis cannot be achieved through a single realm alone. Instead, NTU develops innovations across land, sea, and sky, creating a holistic approach to environmental resilience. On land, the Wee Cho Yaw Plaza (Gaia) showcases zero-energy building design, mass-engineered timber, and passive ventilation that dramatically cut carbon emissions. At sea, NTU’s Energy Research Institute (ERI@N) pioneers hybrid offshore renewable platforms combining floating solar, wave, tidal, and wind technologies to generate clean energy without using scarce land. In the sky, the 3DREAMS atmospheric monitoring system delivers real-time, three-dimensional air-quality and climate data to guide research and policy. Together, these technologies demonstrate that sustainability requires multi-domain solutions, aligning with SDG 7 (Clean Energy), SDG 9 (Innovation & Infrastructure), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities), and SDG 13 (Climate Action). NTU shows that true climate action must span all three realms.

This infographic addresses the critical challenge of securing peri-urban and coastal areas against climate-induced threats, particularly salinization, which compromises food security and ecosystem health. It contrasts the significant economic losses of land degradation with innovative strategies necessary for building sustainable urban environments. The concept integrates sustainable agriculture and green urban infrastructure through solutions like integrated soil and water management and the use of salt-tolerant crops. Furthermore, it highlights smart, regenerative agricultural practices—utilizing AI and drones for precision alongside no-till methods to create a "soil sponge" for carbon sequestration. This approach directly advances SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) by fortifying food production systems, SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) through resilient urban water security, and SDG 15 (Life on Land) by combating soil degradation and restoring vital ecosystems.

"This infographic highlights Singapore's multi-faceted approach to sustainability in an urban city, It explores the different aspects like rooftop gardens, green transportation, conservation in its biodiversity and sustainable agriculture, which targets different outcomes for sustainability.  Vertical farming enables SGD 2: Zero Hunger, where there is higher independence of food supply from climate and the economy. Rooftop gardens and green transportation are urban infrastructures which helps citizens be sustainable-- cooler environment which reduces use of aircon, and taking transport automatically becomes a green act. Biodiversity Integration is restoring the greenery of singapore, allowing wildlife to return and help our ecosystem thrive. 

By combining technology and what nature provides, urban sustainability is integrated deep into Singapore (as illustrated by the infographic). 

My infographic aims to show that there are many areas and ways that Singapore has taken action, it is a fact that we are living in a urban city in nature, so why not act in ways that reflect it too?"

The infographic shows best practices that consumers and firms can take to improve Singapore's Circular Economy (CE). Singapore's recycling rate has been falling over the years and is ranked 28th in the Circular Carbon Economy Index. Singapore needs to improve its efforts to improve its CE. The Circular Economy process encompasses Design, Material, Production, Distribution, Consumption and Waste. Through greater innovation in sustainable processes, it achieves SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure. This improves existing systems and infrastructure reliability. Consumers and producers both have a role to play in the circular economy, promoting a dual impact model on SGD 12: Responsible Consumption and Production. The role of protecting the environment is not limited to one stakeholder; there needs to be shared responsibility and effort. Everyone has a role to play to protect our future.

Singapore has lost over 95% of its mangroves (from 13% land cover in 1820s to 0.5% today) and 60% of coral reefs, primarily due to land reclamation for urbanisation since 1953. The proposed Long Island project (800 ha reclamation off East Coast) exemplifies this tension: it addresses legitimate climate adaptation needs (SDG 13, 11) by protecting coasts from sea-level rise, yet risks perpetuating marine habitat loss (SDG 14, 15). Mapping studies show seven dugong carcass sites now buried under reclaimed land, illustrating ecosystem collapse. Without fundamental redesign integrating nature-based defences—mangrove foreshores, seagrass lagoons, and blue-carbon sequestration—Long Island will continue historical patterns of urbanisation at the cost of biodiversity and coastal resilience. A nature-first approach using recycled materials, graduated habitats, and adaptive governance can simultaneously deliver climate protection and ecosystem recovery, aligning with Singapore's Green Plan and sustainable development commitments.

Through a fishing line motif, we illustrate how common tourist activities can unintentionally trigger a cascade of pressures on our ocean ecosystems. As the line descends, it highlights the four major tourism-driven pressures—overcrowding, harming marine wildlife and ecosystems, coastal pollution, and habitat destruction. Each issue is paired with global statistics to prove how everyday tourist behaviour can unintentionally ""hook"" ecosystems into a cycle of degradation. At the end of the line, the message shifts from impact to empowerment. It presents the four simple actions: pack in-pack out, respect marine areas, choose reef safe products, and take photos instead of souvenirs. These best practices directly empower visitors to reduce harm, supporting SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and SDG 14 (Life Below Water) by encouraging behaviours that protect and preserve our ocean."

“Say No to Overfishing” shows how unsustainable fishing hurts the ocean, people and the entire ecosystem. It highlights the problem of overfishing, and that the share of sustainable fish stocks has been falling over time. It then focuses on why we should give our attention to this problem. Reduction of fish stocks not only leads to "no food", but also "no jobs" for the coastal communities. It even harms the future of the entire eco-system. To solve the problem, we need to ensure sustainable fishing, which consists of three pillars: People, Stock and Ecosystem. This poster also highlights current and potential solutions that consumers, fisheries, and governments around the world can adopt. Together, these ideas support SDG 14: Life Below Water and also strengthen food security and resilient coastal cities under SDG 2 and SDG 11.

It explains how the dense mangrove roots reduce wave energy, lower flood and erosion risks, and act as a natural self‑maintaining coastal defence. It also shows mangroves as blue‑carbon ecosystems that store large amounts of carbon in biomass, supporting climate‑change mitigation. At the same time, mangroves provide habitats for marine biodiversity, support fisheries, and create recreational and educational spaces for urban communities. By integrating mangrove belts into coastal planning and hybrid defences, cities can replace purely “grey” infrastructure with green–blue solutions.

This infographic highlights the often-overlooked link between indoor air quality and urban climate resilience. Although climate action is usually associated with outdoor pollution, urban residents spend up to 90% of their time indoors, where CO₂ levels can reach several times higher than outdoor air. This impacts health, productivity, and increases a building’s carbon footprint through higher ventilation energy demand. Our proposed solution — an indoor electroswing-zeolite CO₂ adsorption device — removes excess indoor CO₂ using low-power electrochemistry, improving wellbeing while supporting clean-air goals. When deployed across homes, offices, and public buildings, such devices reduce ventilation-related energy loads and help cities progress toward net-zero targets.

An unseen hazard and major source of microplastics, Tire Wear Particles (TWP) are created by friction between tires and roads. Our comic-style infographic uses a clear storyboard to raise awareness through visually appealing and memorable graphics. It shows how our EcoSieve intercepts TWP during rain and turns captured pollution into energy. Flow passes sequentially through a Coarse Filter to stop large trash, a Depth Filter to trap fine particles, and a Biosorbent Bed that captures microplastics and other pollutants. A Smart Sensor Puck prompts timely cassette replacement, while a Smart Bypass maintains drainage and prevents ponding. Valorisation of spent food waste creates the biosorbent bed via pyrolysing Spent Coffee Grounds, Brewer’s Spent Grains and Okara into a blend of iron-magnetised and normal biochar. When due for replacement, biosorbent cassettes are processed for energy recovery into biofuels, closing the circular loop. SDGs tackled: 3, 6, 7, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.

Biodegradable polymers hold tremendous promise for building more sustainable cities by reducing plastic pollution, lowering landfill burdens, and cutting reliance on fossil-based resources. Yet, in their unmodified state, these materials often cannot match the strength, durability, or barrier performance of conventional plastics, limiting their role in packaging. In this review, we explored modification strategies such as blending, fillers, copolymerisation, and crosslinking. Evidence shows these methods significantly improve toughness, stability, and barrier behaviour while retaining biodegradability. This makes biodegradable polymers a realistic and scalable solution for sustainable packaging systems. Their adoption directly supports SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) by reducing urban waste and improving resource efficiency. It also aligns with SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) through circular economy practices and SDG 13 (Climate Action) by lowering greenhouse gas emissions from plastic production. By overcoming their limitations, biodegradable polymers can help shape resilient, cleaner, and more sustainable urban environments.

As a psychology major, I wanted to explore how city design can shape the way we think and feel. NeuroUrbanism combines neuroscience and sustainability to show that urban spaces doesn’t just have detrimental effects on the planet, but they affect our minds too. Constant noise, crowding, and lack of greenery heighten stress and raise the risk of anxiety and mood disorders, while access to sunlight, trees, and community spaces helps people feel calmer and more connected. This idea links to SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and SDG 13 (Climate Action). A truly sustainable city is one that cares for its people as much as it cares for the environment.

This submission highlights the dire situation that our oceans are facing due to climate change and pollution, with a focus on the urgent threats to coral reefs, which are critical in sustaining marine ecosystems and are beneficial to coastal development. Globally, coral reefs help support biodiversity, provide coastal protection, and help filter our waters, yet they face severe biological stress arising from ocean pollution and acidification, which results in widespread bleaching phenomenon. Zooming into Singapore’s context, urban development projects along coastal areas require huge investments in coastal and flood protection, since moving reclaimed land poses a huge risk of land runoffs which may impede the recovery of coral colonies around Singapore waters. This infographic calls for the conservation of reefs (SDG14) through coral restoration efforts, using coral-friendly products, and adopting good recreational practices. At the same time, coral reefs shield coastal cities from floods, thus enhancing urban resilience (SGD11).
