2 EFFECTS OF URBAN GROWTH High-Density Dwellings Traffic Congestion Pollution and poor public hygiene Social violence and inner-city crime GOOD CITY IS THE ONE THAT IS CLEAN, CREATES A SENSE OF SAFETY AND SPACE, PROVIDES MOBILITY AND CONNECTIVITY, AND ABOVE ALL, A SENSE OF EQUITY,THAT EVERYBODY OWNS A PART OF THE CITY - LEE KUAN YEW Singapore Case Area: 710 sq.km Pop. Density: 7315/km2 ADVERSITY TO OPPORTUNITY Workers in denser places earn high wage and are productive Density linked to capacity for innovation Less energy use per capita

3 Principles for Livable High-Density Cities 1. Plan for long term growth and renewal Strategic land use concept plan over a year period Masterplan detailing plan over Eye on flexibility lease of 30 years to 99 years 2. Embrace diversity Started as multi-ethnic city People with different skills is an economic advantage Foster inclusiveness and interaction Principles for Livable High-Density Cities 1. Plan for long term growth and renewal Strategic land use concept plan over a year period Masterplan detailing plan over Eye on flexibility lease of 30 years to 99 years 2. Embrace diversity Started as multi-ethnic city People with different skills is an economic advantage Foster inclusiveness and interaction

4 Principles for Livable High-Density Cities 3. Draw nature close to people Garden City to a City in the Garden Near to 50% of the land is under green cover 4. Develop affordable mixed-use neighbourhoods Self contained compact and dense neighbourhood Reduce traffic stress in the central business districts Cost-effective to provide amenities and helps businesses Provide unique high-density yet high-liveable experience Principles for Livable High-Density Cities 5. Make public spaces work harder Unlocking unused spaces for leisure Along side canals with jogging and cycling tracks Public carparks for go-karting events Parks in the nights for concerts Subterranean walkways with retail outlets Rooftop gardens 6. Prioritise green transport and building options Efficient public transport system with well connected walkways Green buildings and green districts

5 Principles for Livable High-Density Cities 7. Relieve density with variety and add green boundaries Avoid concrete jungle feeling Mix high-rise with low-rise like schools, community centres Connecting small parks, water bodies and exercise areas

7 Inter-Ministerial Committee on Sustainable Development Need to manage the growth of our city Need to use resources better Help to combat climate change Co-chair : Minister for National Development : Minister for the Environment and Water Resources Formed in February 2008 Energy Reduce energy intensity by 35% Community Engagement Nurture an environmentally responsible community Capability Building Build Singapore into an environmental knowledge hub Waste Improve recycling rate to 70% Water Reduce water consumption per capita per day by 10% Physical Environment Increase reservoirs, parks, waterways, skyrise greenery Air Reduce ambient fine particulate matter by 25%

8 IMCSD s Target for our Built Environment 80% OF BUILDINGS GREEN 2030 Green rating systems for the tropics Estimated Energy Savings 10% to 15% 15% to 25% > 25% > 30%
