Housing & Development Board has signed an MOU with French specialists to jointly develop urban planning solutions for its towns.

In a release marking the end of the World Cities Summit 2012, HDB said it is the first public agency in Singapore to conclude a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Electricité  de France (EDF) and VEOLIA Environnement Recherche et Innovation (Veolia) to work on a complex Systems Model, which will help HDB develop sustainable, urban planning solutions in HDB towns.

The MOU signifies HDB’s commitment to constantly explore new technologies to promote sustainable, urban planning solutions for the heartland, it added.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
