The makings of a true future city
PLANS to remake Singapore announced at the National Day Rally 2019 stirred much excitement among the public. A highlight was the intention to reshape the Greater Southern Waterfront into a new, vibrant and thriving destination, where people can work near where they live, and live and play near where they work.
The Greater Southern Waterfront redevelopment project reflects Singapore's continued bid to lead the way in infusing smart infrastructure with current assets to create a "future city".
Future cities are ecosystems of people, business, buildings and infrastructure that leverage data and technology to become safer, more resilient, and better connected, leading to better lives for citizens. According to the Asean Smart Cities Framework, being a future city means ensuring a high quality of life for citizens, having a competitive economy and a sustainable environment.
