Singapore is a small densely populated urban island of 625 square kilometres (240 square miles) with a population of 3 million people, located at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. Despite its small size and lack of natural resources, Singapore has achieved enviable economic development since gaining independence in 1965. Much of this past success has been achieved through rapid industrialization, with heavy investment in technological and human capabilities. Today it has a per capita GDP of over US$22,000, comparable to some European countries. Thirty years ago, however, Singapore was a factionalized nation with little industrialization, high unemployment, high crime rates, and a very low standard of living.
