The development will include 1,000 private homes, retail, food-and-beverage and office spaces.URA said residents and visitors can expect a \"shop-lined route\" extending from the MRT station towards Orchard Road and the River Valley area, as well as new public spaces.The neighbourhood will also have new cycling paths that connect Paterson Road to the \"inner ring identity corridor\" – a heritage corridor including roads such as Tiong Bahru Road, Scotts Road, Balestier Road and Lavender Street – and beyond.DOVER-MEDWAYA mix of public and private homes will be developed along Dover Road, supported by new amenities and recreational spaces. Located near the One-North business hub, the new neighbourhood will serve residents working in info-communications, technology, media and biomedical sectors.Development will progress in phases, with around 6,000 public and private homes under the first phase.Mediapolis in One-North will also get new housing – likely 5,000 private homes – near the Wessex estate, Rail Corridor and One-North Park, providing residents with convenient access to nature and heritage sites, URA said. FORMER SINGAPORE RACECOURSEThe site of the former Singapore Racecourse at Kranji will be redeveloped into a new housing estate near the new Kranji Nature Corridor. Around 14,000 new public and private homes will be built here, URA said.Future residents will be able to access nearby parks, open community spaces and waterways such as Sungei Mandai and Sungei Pang Sua.SEMBAWANG SHIPYARDFollowing the relocation of current uses in 2028, the Sembawang Shipyard area will be transformed into a mixed-use waterfront district.Redevelopment could see public waterfront spaces being created along the former berths. Heritage buildings from its origins as a British naval base may also be repurposed for community, sports and cultural use, URA said.The type and total number of homes to be built there is still being studied.PAYA LEBAR AIR BASE AND DEFUWhen the Paya Lebar Air Base relocates in the 2030s, about 800 hectares of land – five times the size of Toa Payoh – will be freed. Height restrictions in the surrounding area will also be removed, allowing for future taller developments.URA has said before that this would be developed into a new town with housing, recreational areas and workspaces. Walking and cycling paths, new rail lines and transit priority corridors will be integrated into the town.The area will honour its aviation heritage by adaptively reusing parts of the old runway and other structures.The development will take place in phases, starting with the nearby Defu estate in Hougang, which will be transformed into a \"new-generation\" neighbourhood where residents can access essential services and amenities within a 10-minute walk.The type and total number of homes to be built is still being studied.MORE SENIOR-FRIENDLY HOMES AND RECREATIONAL SPACESThe URA's Draft Master Plan 2025 outlines land use strategies that will guide Singapore’s development over the next 10 to 15 years. It is reviewed every five years.Beyond new housing developments, the master plan includes proposals in line with long-term planning goals such as enhancing recreational spaces within neighbourhoods and preserving nature and heritage spaces.As for plans for residents to age in place, more assisted-living options will be introduced, including:Community care apartments, which are public housing that integrates senior-friendly design with on-site care and social servicesPrivate assisted living apartments, the first of which will open along Kovan's Parry Avenue by early 2026URA said it also received feedback from Singaporeans for more affordable and accessible recreational options near their homes.In response, new integrated community hubs are planned for towns such as Woodlands, Yio Chu Kang and Sengkang. Located near transport nodes, these hubs will combine sports, healthcare, retail and recreation under one roof.Six new sport-in-precinct projects are underway in Chua Chu Kang, Keat Hong, Ulu Pandan, Whampoa, Tampines North and Pasir Ris East.URA said it is also working with agencies to activate underused spaces for social and recreational purposes. These may include spaces below MRT viaducts and car park rooftops of public housing estates. One example is the Bukit Gombak MRT viaduct, which has been turned into a space for community art installation. To enhance walkability and connectivity, a new pedestrian and cycling bridge will be built by 2029 to link Marina Centre with Bay East Garden.This aims to provide pedestrians and cyclists with a more direct connection between the city and the East Coast along the Round Island Route, URA said.Speaking at the launch of an exhibition for the draft master plan, National Development Minister Chee Hong Tat said: \"As we continue to chart out long-term plans to build a brighter future for Singapore, we must also remain agile and continually refine our land use plans to deal with new challenges.\"These challenges may include:Adjusting to a more uncertain global economy where business activities and supply chains could undergo further shiftsPreparing for the effects of climate changeMeeting stronger housing demand from SingaporeansRejuvenating older towns and estatesTackling these challenges will require a \"concerted effort\" by the government, stakeholders and all Singaporeans, he added.\"Along the way, there will be some difficult tradeoffs that we need to discuss and find ways to strike a careful balance. We will also come across new technologies, new design ideas and new approaches, which can open up more opportunities to achieve our goals.\"Mr Chee noted that URA engaged nearly 220,000 Singaporeans since public consultations for the latest master plan began in October 2023, making this \"the most extensive engagement that URA has conducted to date\".\"I want to thank the Singaporeans who have shared with us a wide range of ideas … We appreciate very much your inputs, your suggestions, your ideas and we hope to continue to work with all of you to shape our future plans.\"","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":true,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"policyRegulatory,event","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":17,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":1,"favoriteSize":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.35.11","shortVersion":"4.35.11","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/1174869358","isCrawlerRequest":true}
