Introduction     Plan showing Look-out Points & View Corridors
    

Before (Top) and After (Bottom), simulated view corridor along High Street towards proposed Fort Canning Observatory Tower

Simulated view from proposed Fort Canning Observatory Tower

Look-out points

    These provide panoramic views of the city either from street level or from high-rise observation decks.

    URA could require developers of selected future buildings, for example the future sale site above the Orchard MRT site, to provide publicly accessible look-out points.

 


View through UOB plaza towards Singapore River


View of CBD from Nicoll Highway


View corridors & View cones

    These orientate people around the city, giving glimpses of prominent building and natural features such as hills and waterbodies. They also allow significant views to be protected.

    The three additional view corridors and view cones are:

    • The view corridor toward the CBD as you enter the city from Nicoll Highway, and
    • The views from the Esplanade Bridge towards the Padang and Marina Bay.
