Prolific demographer Joel Kotkin, writing for City Journal, takes a fond but concerned look at today's Singapore, as it faces a "midlife crisis." Its birthrate is among the world's lowest and, unlike Japan, it is importing people and experiencing the normal controversy and concern over cultural maintenance such importation engenders.
If you respect Singapore's national "architect" Lee Kwan Yew or just have a fondness for what is perhaps the world's best-run city, I believe you'll find Kotkin's take on Singapore interesting.
