Cases of relative success in housing supply, such as Japan and Singapore, often rely on stronger administrative enforcement capacity or lower thresholds for planning vetoes.
Leading countries such as South Korea and Singapore have industrial robot densities exceeding 1,000 units per 10,000 workers, while most developing economies have fewer than 100 units.
