Identity Corridors

These distinctive corridors around our island have a strong identity and character that resonates with residents and visitors.

Last updated 25 May 2026

We will develop strategies to preserve their appeal, and strengthen walking and cycling infrastructure along them, so that they will continue to be well used and loved by future generations.

Besides on-going works to enhance accessibility and greenery along the main 24km route, there will be opportunities to co-vision with the community to develop activity nodes along the Rail Corridor. Urban design guidelines will guide adjacent development plans along this corridor to ensure that they complement and contribute to its green character and experience. There are also plans to study the Old Jurong Line and Jurong Lake District, as part of this corridor.

Southern Ridges and Coast

A coastal corridor along the Greater Southern Waterfront with rich heritage

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.  

Inner Ring

More walking and cycling spaces could be introduced to encourage people to explore the different neighbourhoods along this corridor that runs along Zion – Kim Seng – Scotts – Newton – Moulmein – Balestier – Lavender – Crawford Roads.
