S$115m to be invested in Singapore's future city planning: Indranee Rajah
S$115m is going into a research and innovation programme to transform Singapore's built environment. The research will look into how Singapore can optimise its land, sea and underground spaces while adapting to climate change. The funding will also go towards advancing nature-based solutions to improve overall liveability. Speaking at the World Cities Summit, Second National Development Minister Indranee Rajah says cities are changing how they approach urban challenges. It involves the will and desire to scale solutions and coming up with a societal approach, as opposed to a government-led one. She adds that such shifts were possible through partnerships with citizens, firms and countries, which will become essential as cities become denser, to achieve liveable and sustainable cities.
