Pilot plans for underground space in select areas

Singapore

THE Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) has unveiled underground space plans for Marina Bay, Jurong Innovation District and Punggol Digital District as it studies underground space with the aim of using land more efficiently.

The underground space plan shows planned underground uses at various depths, such as MRT stations, pedestrian links, and major utility infrastructure within key areas, a URA spokesperson highlighted. This would make planned underground uses for the site clearer to developers and land owners.
