Overview of Singapore’s Master Plan 2025

The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) has officially gazetted the Master Plan 2025, marking a significant step in Singapore’s land use planning. Announced on December 1, this plan is set to direct the development of the country for the next 10 to 15 years following extensive public engagement involving nearly 250,000 visitors at exhibitions across the island.

With the Master Plan 2025 now in place, focus shifts to implementing its various proposals. Among the notable initiatives are the transformation of Bukit Timah Turf City into a new residential community and the redevelopment of Kranji into a housing estate, which includes plans to launch a consultancy tender next year to create a detailed master plan for the area.

Further residential developments are anticipated, with additional housing sites in Bukit Timah Turf City expected to be released progressively. The first site in this area, located on Dunearn Road, was acquired by a consortium for $491.45 million, and it is projected to yield around 380 homes.

Another exciting development is the transformation of the former Singapore Racecourse in Kranji. This area is poised to evolve into a vibrant live-work district, especially with the upcoming completion of the Johor Bahru–Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) and the expansion of Woodlands Regional Centre.

Miltonia Close EC is another project to watch in the context of these developments. Positioned to offer quality residential options, its completion will complement the government’s long-term urban planning strategies focused on livability and resilience.

Enhancements to Community and Recreational Spaces

Under the new Master Plan, URA is also setting a clear path to enhance recreational and community spaces. This includes optimizing under-utilized areas such as spaces under viaducts and rooftops of multi-storey car parks for sports and community activities.

In addition, there is a planned expansion at Marina Bay for interim sports uses, and the development of a new community node along the Rail Corridor in Queensway, with construction expected to start in the coming year.

Experts like Eugene Lim, key executive officer at ERA Singapore, have expressed optimism about the plan. Lim highlights the strategic importance of developments at Bukit Timah Turf City and Kranji, noting their potential to influence housing affordability, regional economic growth, and the broader urban planning landscape in Singapore.

Conservation and Heritage in Urban Planning

Another aspect of the Master Plan 2025 is the focus on conservation. Several heritage buildings have been earmarked for preservation and are likely to host new amenities, integrating Singapore’s rich history with modern development.

Overall, the Master Plan 2025 is set to shape the future of Singapore’s urban landscape, balancing development with sustainability, heritage, and community well-being.
