A broad spatial representation of how we seek to strengthen Singapore’s long-term ecological, social and climate resilience through our green and blue spaces.
We seek to steward our natural green and blue spaces with a science-based approach to strengthen the conservation of our native biodiversity and balance conservation and development. The findings from the Ecological Profiling Exercise are used to guide long-term land use planning so that we can develop sensitively.
We seek to integrate green and blue spaces in a way that is suitable for our urban environment. Such spaces can help to meet our social and recreational needs and enhance liveability while improving ecological outcomes.
We seek to adopt green and blue spaces as part of integrated solutions to enhance climate resilience. They include providing more urban greenery to mitigate urban heat and exploring how nature-based solutions can be integrated with engineering solutions in planning for flood mitigation.
In shaping our long-term strategies for Singapore’s green and blue spaces, we have worked with 70 stakeholders from academia, industry and interest groups who participated in focus group discussions between June to December 2021. We will continue engaging communities in developing more specific plans for key areas in the future.
