Lecture 7:
Land Use Plan for
a High Quality Living Environment

2. Objective To support a larger population of 6.5 to 6.9 million
To preserve a high quality living environment,
one of the most liveable cities in the world – a city for all ages

3. Strategies
A. Building good affordable homes B. City in a garden C. Greater mobility with transport connectivity D. Vibrant economy with good jobs

4. Our land requirements

5. How do we increase the land supply from 71,000 ha to 76,600 ha?
Land reclamation
Develop reserve land
Intensify developments
Recycle land with lower intensity uses – redevelop old industrial areas, golf courses

6. Strategies
A. Building good affordable homes B. City in a garden C. Greater mobility with transport connectivity D. Vibrant economy with good jobs

7. A. Building good affordable homes
1. Increase number of housing units:
New townships – Bidadari, Tampines North and
Tengah, further development of Punggol which will
have 7 waterfront housing estates

8. A. Building good affordable homes
2. Developing vacant land 3. Rejuvenating mature towns - Barrier-free accessibility, lift upgrading 4. Improving estates and towns - Punggol, Yishun, Dawson, Hougang, East Coast, Jurong Lake District 5. Housing in the Central Region - wider housing choices - Kallang Basin/Rochor: waterfront living

9. A. Building good affordable homes
6. Conservation
7. Community, commercial and recreational facilities
- Integrated hospitals and rehabilitation hospitals will be conveniently located near major residential estates and public transport nodes.
In Integrated hospitals, every cluster
of wards have a common living and
family area. The ward’s home-like
environment will encourage patients
to make use of the facilities to attain
their maximum independence for a
smooth transition to home

10. B. A City in a Garden Purpose:
- Parks and greenery make a high density urban environment more liveable.
- They provide recreational and social spaces and bring relief to a busy city.
Norm: 0.8 m of parks per 1,000 residents
Target: At least 85% of residents can live within 400m of a park by 2030

11. B. A City in a Garden - plans
Round-Island-Route
Skyrise Greenery
- 150 km
- links major cultural, natural and historical attractions
- old Malaysian Rail Corridor
- incentive scheme for mid-level or rooftop sky gardens, vertical greenery

12. C. Greater Mobility with Transport Connectivity
Cities that are highly liveable are people-centric. They place emphasis on walkability and tend to have extensive, affordable and high quality public transport
Target: Public transport for 70% of journeys by 2030

13. C. Greater Mobility with Transport Connectivity
1. MRT as the backbone of public transport - Downtown Line - Thomson Line 2. Sheltered walkways around key transport nodes 3. Barrier-free accessibility 4. Cycling as a mode of transport 5. Integrated transport hub - Bedok, Bukit Panjang, Hougang, Joo Koon, Jurong East, Marina South and Yishun 6. Restraint measures on vehicles

14. C. Greater Mobility with Transport Connectivity

15. D. Commercial nodes & industries
New commercial nodes to be developed to help to distribute jobs near to where people live
- Jurong Lake District, Paya Lebar Central,
One-north
- North Coast Innovation Corridor
(Woodlands Regional Centre – Sembawang –
future Seletar Regional Centre - Punggol)

16. Conclusion
In land use planning, there will be tough trade-offs and land use decisions. There are no solutions that can satisfy everyone.
The government will engage stakeholders to gather feedback and ideas and debate the options to arrive at the right balance.
