Urban Development in Singapore, 2008 Urban Development in Singapore, 2008. A study of urban planning and development in Singapore. Abstract This paper examines Singapore as unique among the cities of the world because of its efficient urban planning given its limited land mass and a high population density. The paper starts by discussing the integrated urban development of Singapore. It first describes how the State and City Planning (SCP) Project that started way back in the 1970s evolved into the Concept Plan of 1971 and the Master Plan for Singapore. The paper then addresses various challenges to modernity and the broad parameters of the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) Concept Plan of 1991. It also addresses urban transportation and uses diagrams to illustrate Singapore's planning strategies. Finally, the paper concludes that the city state is regarded as a model of urban governance in terms of land use planning, which is taken seriously and implemented with relatively increased intensity of conformity.
