The latest Concept Plan review was carried out in 2011. The review took into account the public feedback gathered by the National Population & Talent Division (NPTD) on building a sustainable population for Singapore. This population discussion resulted in the release of the Population White Paper in January 2013, which set out the key considerations and roadmap for Singapore’s population policies and also projected Singapore's potential population by 2030. MND released the Land Use Plan subsequently in the same month to complement the Population White Paper. It outlines the strategies to support population and economic growth, while ensuring a high quality living environment for all Singaporeans.
The Land Use Plan is a conceptual plan that outlines the strategies to provide the physical capacity to sustain a high quality living environment for a possible population range of 6.5 to 6.9 million by 2030. It also sets aside land to provide options beyond 2030, so that our future generations will have room for growth and opportunities.
The strategies to sustain a high quality living environment include:
a. Providing good affordable homes with a full range of amenities
b. Integrating greenery into the living environment
c. Providing greater mobility with enhanced transport connectivity
d. Sustaining a vibrant economy with good jobs
e. Ensuring room for growth and a good living environment in future
The broad strategies and proposals set out in the Land Use Plan will be translated into detailed plans in the upcoming Master Plan review, which will guide our development over the next 10 to 15 years.
We will continue to review our plans from time to time, to respond to Singapore’s changing needs, trends and the overall environment.
