Designing For Life Roadmap
Designing the best possible homes for Singaporeans is an ongoing, iterative process. In 2020, the Housing & Development Board (HDB) launched the Designing for Life Roadmap, which is centred on the overall health and well-being of residents, to provide them with a better living environment at all stages of their lives. The roadmap is supported by 3 pillars:
Live Well
We aim to holistically enhance residents’ physical, mental, and social well-being through the built environment, and create healthy towns for people of all ages. Ongoing and new initiatives to bring nature closer to residents, improve safety in the home and outdoors, and renew towns through upgrading programmes will be scaled up.
Live Green
We will drive greater environmental sustainability in our towns to promote green living for all, by leveraging on smart applications and technologies that help to stretch sustainability targets. Our goal is to make our residents’ lives more convenient, while nudging them to be more aware of how they can do their part for the environment.
Live Connected
We will offer more opportunities for residents to connect with each other and involve the community to shape and activate neighbourhood spaces. Through collaborations and research partnerships with government agencies and Institutes of Higher Learning, we will use data analytics and behavioural studies to gain insights that can aid the design of targeted initiatives and help foster cohesive communities.
