URA strives for a greener, more resilient, and more inclusive Singapore.
The Urban Redevelopment Authority has unveiled key proposals focusing on a more inclusive, sustainable, and resilient city under the Draft Master Plan 2019.
The number of people staying within the Central Area will be increased as a variety of homes and amenities are planned in areas such as Downtown, Marina South and Rochor. Apart from being enhanced as a lifestyle destination, Orchard Road will also connect the Singapore Botanic Gardens and Fort Canning Park. New housing and amenities will be added in areas such as Bayshore, Dakota Crescent, and Farrer Park.
“Moving jobs closer to home and even homes closer to work can alleviate the stress on the public transport network. In land-scarce Singapore where more than 10% of land is set aside for roads, this can reduce the need to build road capacity,” states Lee Sze Teck, Huttons Asia’s head of research. Looking ahead, URA will also tap 3D technology to improve the use of underground space by relocating utilities, transport, storage and industrial facilities there. For a start, URA will roll out 3D underground maps for Marina Bay, Jurong Innovation District and Punggol Digital District, showing the underground uses and planning requirements in these three pilot areas.
