We have already discussed Honk Kong and Singapore briefly in our above paragraphs. But now we will discuss them from the point of view of infrastructure.

Honk Kong: – Honk Kong leads in providing the best communication and travel facilities with efficient international interconnection, international airport, with low fare public transport, telecom infrastructure, deep water hub and provides global information technology.
Singapore: – Singapore has the most superior transport network and the government is highly investing in various projects like development of aviation or fulfilling various agreements like “open skies”.

Singapore depends on various imports for domestic consumption but still is a leading infrastructure country. Telecommunication and telephone services are basically under government control.

United States:- S. with the best infrastructure already, promises to spend $1 trillion on infrastructure and not just physical infrastructure (bridges, tunnels, pipes, dams etc. ) but to upgrade whole economy (safety, health, growth and development), promised by Donald Trump.

Examining all the factors like life expectancy, death risk, other environmental changes, malnutrition etc.

Italy has been found out to be the healthiest place in the world. In practical also, Italians have been found out to be more in shape and less health disorders than other country people like Americans, Canadians etc. Therefore from the dimension of health Italy is the richest place in the world.

The sixth and last dimension is the highest GDP dimension, this is a not so good dimension as highest GDP can be achieved by many factors like more production, infrastructure, exports and imports etc.

But it fails to examine the gap between the rich and the poor, in some countries the rich are becoming more rich and poor are becoming poorer which shows the widening gap between both.

Therefore, in a country where people don’t enjoy a basic standard of living and on the other side people have so much that they don’t know where to spend, growth is of no use.

Therefore, growth should bring equity which says less gap between rich and poor and a basic standard of living to all, in addition to it, growth and development of a country with high GDP and more infrastructure.

so we can come to the conclusion that a country which provides all the dimensions that is safety and security to its fellow men and tourists, provides the health-conscious environment,

It means increasing life expectancy and reducing death risks and other health disorders like blood pressure, cholesterol, heart attacks, cancer patients etc., has the highest GDP.
