URA used 6.5mn population parameter for Concept Plan 2011

CP11 will map out the land use and infrastructure development of Singapore in the next 40 to 50 years.

However, according to Mr Mah Bow Tan, Minister for National Development, the Concept Plan is not just a land use plan. It is fundamentally about people and how we can plan for a better life for all Singaporeans.

The Concept Plan 2011 will contain strategies to achieve a few key outcomes, namely, (i) to sustain a robust and vibrant economy; (ii) to achieve environmentally responsible development; (iii) to achieve resource optimisation; and (iv) to provide a good quality of living for all.

The Government will increase the housing stock as the population grows. "Our current towns will be redeveloped and expanded to provide affordable and good quality housing..." said Mr Mah Bow Tan.

The Government will also bring jobs closer to homes by having more equal job-to-worker distribution across the island and will continue to expand leisure options and greenery.

Finally, the Government will plan Singapore's land use and infrastructure development to respond to the changing profile of our population, so that Singapore remains an inclusive home.

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.
