THINKING ALOUD / EDITOR'S NOTE
Who would think that a simple looking plan with a matrix of colours would be so instrumental in not only shaping our environments but our everyday lives? It began in 1958 (when the Master Plan was developed) with a bold vision and a strong determination to make this island better for everyone. Sixty years on, it continues to shape our present and future. In developing the Master Plan, many planners, architects, designers, citizens and others gave their ideas and dreamt of new possibilities.
In this special edition, we present the key highlights of the latest Draft Master Plan 2019:
With increasing urban complexities, liveability, flexibility and resilience will become more critical.
Access, opportunities, plus a look at an aerotropolis around Changi.
Re-explore natural gems along the coast with Nature Society expert Ho Hua Chew.
Sustaining the appeal of the city centre, from Orchard Road to the Central Business District.
We invite you to envision the future with us.
