Overview

Explore the long-term planning concepts and strategies showcased in the 'Space for Our Dreams' exhibition, and discover ideas shaping Singapore’s future.

Last updated 1 July 2026

The review of the Long-Term Plan every 10 years is an opportunity to refresh and adjust our plans for tomorrow. By charting our future today, we can envision new possibilities, cater for emerging needs, and anticipate unknowns in the next 50 years and beyond.

Making choices today for tomorrow 

As both a city and a country, we must not only plan for enough homes, workplaces, recreation areas and spaces for everyone, we also need to cater for critical infrastructure such as utilities and reservoirs, seaports, airports and more. Planning for the long-term is often a balancing act, where we will need to balance our diverse land-use needs and manage potential trade-offs carefully.

Regularly reviewing our long-term plans is key to ensuring we use our limited land resources optimally and have the flexibility to embrace new opportunities, meet unforeseen needs and provide future generations the space to plan for their dreams too.

Land uses for the long term

This plan illustrates the broad land use and planning strategies for Singapore, for the long-term.

In the next few decades, we will have the opportunity to develop large parcels of land marked as “Future Development Areas” for a wide range of uses, which can include housing, office, industry and others. We will review and adjust the exact mix of uses in these areas closer to their implementation, depending on how future trends pan out. These, along with the areas marked as “Reserve Sites”, will give us more room to adjust our plans to respond to a dynamic future.
