Few places in the world are as meticulously planned as Singapore, and with their latest land use plan, the public will be active in the planning process. The Concept Plan is undertaken every ten years, and each plan determines the land use and transportation plan that will shape the city’s development for the next 10-15 years.

To reach out to a wide spectrum of society and engage people from all walks of life in the review of the Concept Plan, the Urban Redevelopment Authority is adopting a two-prong strategy in its consultation efforts:

  • Conduct in-depth focus group discussions with representatives from a broad segment of the population including professional bodies, non-governmental organisations, community groups, businesses, academia, youth, etc; and
  • Offer a variety of platforms for the general public to give feedback and ideas, e.g. Lifestyle Survey, online survey, public forums and exhibition.
