Public Engagement Themes

As part of our public engagement for the Long‐Term Plan Review (LTPR), we co‐organised events along four
central engagement themes that are also key areas we looked into as part of the LTPR.

During these events, Singaporeans and stakeholders could learn more about city planning and share their
feedback on potential land use strategies for a Singapore that is Inclusive; Adaptable and Resilient; Sustainable;
and Distinctive and Endearing.

Based on their feedback and on potential future trends and challenges, we also developed a set of planning
principles and strategies to guide the development of our long‐term plans for Singapore. These strategies were
further refined with agencies and are now exhibited in more detail for your feedback.

Future of the Environment

Securing a sustainable future for Singapore has always been an integral part of our vision for our long‐term
plans.

A+

A‐

Our priority is to create a clean and green environment for all Singaporeans. We also remain committed in
pursuing sustainable development to support a more resilient future for generations to come. As part of the
Long‐Term Plan Review (LTPR), we are studying key trends and challenges in the next 50 years and beyond, that
would impact Singapore’s journey towards becoming climate‐ready and to safeguard the future of our
environment.

From the LTPR public engagement, it is evident that Singaporeans care for our environment and recognise the
increasing importance of planning for a sustainable city. For example, they suggested having a variety of green
spaces that serve different needs, such as to provide recreation space for residents, to mitigate the impact of
climate change, and to conserve Singapore’s rich biodiversity.

Singaporeans also felt that our built environment can be better integrated with nature, suggested various
strategies to minimise energy usage and close our resource loops, and highlighted the potential of leveraging
design and technology to combat climate change.

Providing inclusive and accessible homes for all continues to be central to Singapore’s housing goals.

Long‐term planning allows us to review emerging trends and develop strategies to meet Singaporeans’ growing
aspirations and address changing needs due to demographic changes. We will continue to plan for future‐ready,
inclusive and resilient towns with more recreational options, a comprehensive range of amenities near homes
for better accessibility and pedestrian‐centric commutes to promote healthier lifestyles. As we develop, we will
do so with care while balancing development with heritage and greenery and integrate them sensitively with
future developments.

In the course of LTPR public engagement, Singaporeans have shared with us the importance of reviving the
kampung spirit, planning for more community spaces, and more inclusive housing that consider the diverse
needs and preferences of residents, while bringing different segments of the population together. Some also
expressed interest in having more flexible housing options, while others wanted more housing closer to the
city.

They also hoped for more common spaces in housing estates, where residents can initiate their own community
projects to build a stronger sense of community in our neighbourhoods. Lastly, Singaporeans also suggested
enhancing the sense of identity and belonging of our housing estates, by enabling more ground‐up community
efforts and celebrating both tangible and intangible aspects of heritage.

Future of Mobility
A sustainable urban mobility system is critical in facilitating the efficient movement of people and goods, to
serve the social and economic needs of a city.

A+

A‐

There is opportunity to plan for a more inclusive transport system that caters to different mobility needs, and
harness new technological innovations in the process. Reviewing our long‐term plans regularly also allows us to
keep tabs on evolving developments and needs that affect the movement of goods and people and develop
corresponding strategies to enhance the convenience and effectiveness of our mobility networks.

The Land Transport Authority’s Land Transport Master Plan 2040 will be a key milestone for how we move in
the long term. It envisions a 45‐Minute City with 20‐Minute Towns; an inclusive land transport system; and one
that contributes to Healthy Lives and Safer Journeys. This will be achieved through a more convenient, well‐
connected, seamless, and conducive transport system that caters to the needs of different commuters and
users.

In the course of the LTPR public engagement exercise, Singaporeans and stakeholders have shared with us their
aspirations for a more sustainable, inclusive and people‐centric mobility system that is supported by better
connectivity and safer active mobility infrastructure. They have also suggested that we consider how our plans
will accommodate future modes of mobility, such as autonomous vehicles (AVs) and drones.
