Measure for solving increasing demand of land

Where in Singapore is it used?

Benefits Disadvantages

Maximising Landuse by building Mixed-Use Developments

Compass Point, Sengkang (Transport Hub [MRT, LRT, Buses Interchange], Shopping Mall and Condominiums in the same complex)

•Saves space – more functions with the same amount of space•encourages using public

transport – reduces demand for cars and carpark lots

• Costly, requires great effort in planning

Land Reclamation

Marina Bay •Creates more space for a human activities

• Costly • Can damage

environment (Coral reefs, aquatic life)

• Can obscure heritage Deforestation Planned use of Sungei

Tengah area for housing would require the removal of 2nd generation forests there

Frees up more land for building of housing and infrastructure

• Reduces Green spaces• Environmentally

damaging

Land Re-purposing

Pinnacle@Duxton • Make built spaces more efficient by creating more usable floor space out of the same plot of land

• Inconveniences people who have to be re-settled

• Heritage lost.

The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) is Singapore’s national land use planning and conservation authority. URA’s mission is “to make Singapore a great city to live, work and play in”. We strive to create a vibrant and sustainable city of distinction by planning and facilitating Singapore’s physical development in partnership with the community.

The URA has successfully transformed Singapore into one of the most liveable cities in Asia through judicious land use planning and good urban design. We adopt a long term and comprehensive planning approach in formulating strategic plans such as the Concept Plan and the Master Plan, to guide the physical development of Singapore in a sustainable manner. Our plans and policies focus on achieving a balance between economic growth and a quality living environment. As the conservation authority, URA has an internationally recognised conservation programme, having successfully conserved not only single buildings, but entire districts.

To turn its plans and visions into reality, URA takes on a multi-faceted role. In addition to its planning function, URA is also the main government land sales agent. Through the sale of state land, we attract and channel private capital investment to develop sites to support economic and social development. URA is also the development agency for Marina Bay, the new city extension. To create an exciting cityscape, URA also actively promotes architecture and urban design excellence.

Drawing on our experience in integrated planning and urban management, URA provides consultancy for overseas bilateral projects and shares our urban planning experience through professional training programmes.
