MINISTER for National Development Lawrence Wong on Sunday highlighted three key considerations that Singapore takes into account when urban planning. They are: the need for long-term city planning; the need for constant innovation and research and development (R&D); and the need for constant engagement with different stakeholders before taking decisive actions.
On the need for long-term planning, he said: "It is not easy to do this at a time when we are facing a more frantic social and media culture expecting more immediate results." Yet, it is still needed.
