That urgency has led to a government push for solutions. With the help of high-tech developments, including a mobile cart that measures radiation, researchers on the island are now trying to address urban heat through a program that the government said could be a model for other countries. The program is aiming to build a computer model of Singapore, which would allow policymakers to analyze the effectiveness of heat mitigation measures.<br \/>\nResearchers say Singapore\u2019s geographical position in Southeast Asia makes it a good model for others, particularly nations in the tropics.
