These five corridors across our island have evolved into well-loved, delightful places with rich heritage and identity. They not only serve as important anchors of activities and movement, but also link key neighbourhoods to the city centre.
The concept of Identity Corridors was first introduced in the Long-Term Plan Review and builds on our Identity Node initiative to retain distinctive neighbourhoods. Since 2002, we have recognised and progressively enhanced 18 identity nodes, such as Balestier and Holland Village.
We are now developing plans to enhance the five Identity Corridors, which includes creating meaningful public spaces as well as strengthening the walking and cycling infrastructure along them. Communities and designers will be invited to actively shape some of these corridors with us.

Comprising Singapore’s longest Transit Priority Corridor (North-South Corridor) and Singapore’s longest river (Kallang River), the Thomson-Kallang Corridor is a canvas for us to co-create and redefine our public spaces! More space will be freed up for new uses along the North-South Corridor, which offers the opportunity to create more lively streetscapes and meaningful community nodes. The Kallang River will continue to be revitalised with new homes and work places as well as see more seamless walking and cycling paths, such as the Bishan-to-City Links.

Designers and the community can contribute to creating more walkable and distinctive streets from Old Airport Road to Geylang Road as well as the Siglap and Bayshore areas. Along this corridor, the Geylang Serai Cultural Belt will also rejuvenate the area around Geylang Serai Market with a new festive plaza, a landmark archway and new cycling paths.

The Rail Corridor is a 24km long recreational spine which threads through diverse communities and potentially connects around 1 million residents living within a 1km radius and visitors from all walks of life. Over the years, we have engaged the public and stakeholders to shape the Rail Corridor into an inclusive community space for people of all ages and abilities. As part of this effort, we will continue to engage the public on the future Queensway node, and the former Tanjong Pagar Railway Station (TPRS).

An approximately 10km long coastal promenade will connect Marina Barrage to the Southern Ridges. We will seek ideas from the public to shape the promenade into a distinctive public space that connects the Greater Southern Waterfront to its surrounding area.
