The Concept Plan
The Concept Plan 2001 maps out Singapore’s strategic land use and transportation plan plan for the next 40 to 50 years. It is based on a population scenario of 5.5 million. It is reviewed every 10 years.
This long-term plan ensures there is sufficient land to meet anticipated population and economic growth, and to provide a good living environment. It takes an integrated approach, taking into account all major land use needs, considering all trade-offs and balancing future needs.
This also ensures that future development balances economic growth with environmental stewardship and social progress.
