National Infrastructure Plan

We play a key role in ensuring that Singapore’s infrastructure is well-planned, resilient and ready to support future needs. The National Infrastructure Plan (NIP) is the cornerstone of this effort, bringing together various agencies and utility licensees to align plans over a 15-year horizon.

Aligning plans early

As part of the annual NIP review, land development agencies, infrastructure agencies and utility licensees collaborate to align major infrastructure plans and land development strategies over the next 15 years¹. 

The process helps identify potential issues early, including competing needs and trade-offs, so that agencies can resolve them upfront and plan for the provision of infrastructure. This leads to better alignment in planning, design and implementation, ensuring that our infrastructure keeps pace with development over the longer term.

Improved coordination at the upstream planning stage also enables us to track emerging needs and identify opportunities to co-locate and integrate infrastructure, optimising land use and unlocking potential synergies between various uses.
