Urban designers & Urban planners Urban design deals with the large-scale organization and design of the city, with the massing and organisation of buildings and the space between them, but not with the design of the individual buildings.  The site has been already been allocated as part of the larger planning process Key areas: Singapore River, Orchard Road shopping corridor, Marina Bay

Urban designers and urban planners Urban planning: The planners, on the other hand, must typically consider the entire city. In fact the planners often look beyond the city and understand how the city functions as part of a larger region.
