URA's landscape renewal to cover more areas
Policy extended to include residential, commercial, hotel, mixed-use projects
THE Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) yesterday announced enhancements to the 2009 Landscaping for Urban Spaces and High Rises (LUSH) programme, aimed at encouraging developers to plan for more green spaces in Singapore.
Termed LUSH 2.0, which includes the landscape replacement policy, it will now cover more geographic areas.
Developments in strategic areas must replace the full site area with green communal spaces - at least 40 per cent must be planting areas and the remaining 60 per cent landscaped communal areas.
