Have the Supertrees already been built?

They are part of Gardens by the Bay - a botanical park - so they are more of a demonstration of the technology. If they are going to get deployed anywhere, Singapore would be the place.

Libertarian though I am, I have become convinced that no large city filled with fallible humans can be governed without imposition of a Lee Kwan Yew- or Rudy Giuliani-style benevolent dictatorship. An efficient and honest system for detention or deportation of undesirables is essential. Otherwise, criminals and deadbeats quickly game the system and overwhelm the good citizens.

Obama is trying to take this human failing national for political gain...and he's doing a damned good job.

Visitors watch as the super trees dazzle with lights display and music.


Surrounded with 12 towering giant trees up to 50 metres tall, visitors were mesmerised.


The man-made trees came to life with magical lights and music

It's part of Singapore's goal to become "a city in a garden"
