CITY OF POSSIBILITIES
An infinite number of possibilities take shape as Singapore looks beyond and into the future.
In anticipation of future challenges, our city forges ahead with the vision of being sustainable and resilient. We dream of creating an inclusive society for future generations to live, work and play.
To fulfil these dreams, Singapore charts her next steps with detailed master plans to transform our city. We work toward net-zero emissions, set daring goals for the adoption of clean energy, innovate heat mitigation technologies and coastal protection strategies. Our built environment is carefully developed to ensure our vibrant heritage endures for the generations to come.

Charting Our Next Steps
Long-Term Plan Review
The Long-Term Plan (LTPR) guides the development of Singapore, by mapping out strategic land uses and infrastructure needs over the next 50 years and beyond. Reviewed every 10 years, the Long-Term Plan envisions possibilities for a quality living environment based on evolving trends and changing needs.
Find out more about the LTPR and the seven key guiding themes that will shape our future city.
Draft Master Plan 2025
The Draft Master Plan 2025 (DMP2025) translates land use strategies developed with Singaporeans and stakeholders in the Long-Term Plan Review into detailed plans for the next 10 to 15 years. With its focus on Shaping a Happy Healthy City, Enabling Sustainable Growth, Strengthening Urban Resilience and Stewarding Nature and Heritage, DMP2025 aims to make Singapore a liveable, inclusive and endearing home where generations can fulfill their aspirations.
Find out more about the ongoing public engagements happening in Singapore and upcoming plans for our city.
Singapore Green Plan 2030
The Singapore Green Plan 2030 is a whole-of-nation movement to advance Singapore’s agenda on sustainable development and positions us to achieve our net-zero emissions goal by 2050. It sets ambitious targets for the adoption of green energy, carbon neutrality and the introduction of cleaner-energy vehicles, among many other areas of focus.

Creating A Sustainable
And Resilient Future
Coastal Protection
As a city surrounded by sea, Singapore is vulnerable to the threat of rising sea levels due to climate change. This propels us to plan ahead and reimagine our coastlines, by exploring a variety of coastal protection measures, for example, seawalls, tidal gates and nature-based solutions like mangroves.
Find out more about our efforts to protect our coastlines and safeguard our future.

Heat Resilient City
As a city-state with a tropical climate, rising temperatures due to climate change poses a threat to Singapore’s liveability. To strengthen Singapore’s heat resilience, we adopt a science-based and proactive strategy: first, implement cooling strategies, second, deepen our scientific understanding of heat, and third, strengthen the community’s resilience to heat. For example, we leverage on research and innovation to develop key technologies such as the Integrated Environmentalm Modeller (IEM) to shape a cooler city for many generations to come.
Discover more about IEM and its role in heat mitigation.
Solar Energy
Solar is the most viable domestic source of renewable energy in Singapore. We achieved a more than fivefold increase in solar capacity from a modest 260 megawatt-peak (MWp) in 2019 to over 1.5 gigawatt-peak (GWp) as of end-2024. This puts us on track to meeting our solar deployment target of at least 2 GWp by 2030.
Find out more on how we are accelerating solar energy deployment islandwide.
Local Production
In preparation for future challenges posed by climate change, Singapore aims to bolster our food resilience by building our agri-food industry’s capability and capacity for local production.
This helps to buffer the impact of global food disruptions on our food supply.

80-80-80 in 2030
80-80-80 in 2030 refers to Singapore’s sustainability targets to lower our city’s carbon footprint aiming to green 80% of our buildings (by gross floor area), have 80% of new developments (by gross floor area) to be Super Low Energy buildings, and achieve 80% improvement in energy efficiency for best-in-class green buildings.
Find out more about our actions in moving towards a greener future.
Identity Corridors
Key stretches across the island which have developed well-loved and delightful characteristics over time have been earmarked as Identity Corridors, where strategies are being put in place to retain and strengthen the qualities that make them endearing to Singaporeans. These include urban design guidelines as well as projects to enhance public spaces and connectivity around them.
Find out more about how Singapore is developing our identity corridors for the future.
Envisioning Tomorrow's Districts

Jurong Lake District
Singapore is set to develop our next largest business district outside of the central area. Envisioned as a mixed-use, sustainable district, Jurong Lake District will feature a mix of offices, housing and amenities in a car-lite and park setting. The district will also be home to upcoming attractions such as the new Singapore Science Centre.
Find out more about upcoming plans at Jurong Lake District.
Historic East
Stretching from Geylang-Changi Road to the East Coast, the Historic East comprises a rich tapestry of charming streetscapes and neighbourhoods that are filled with vibrant history, culture and attractions. It is one of 5 identity corridors introduced by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) of Singapore.
Find out more about the Historic East’s rich history and her lively neighbourhoods.
Greater Sentosa Master Plan
Singapore’s popular island-resort, Sentosa Island, is set for a major rejuvenation effort together with Pulau Brani (an island in Singapore). Pulau Brani, a neighbouring island, will also be developed as part of the Greater Sentosa Master Plan, which aims to holistically develop both islands to strengthen their appeal as a world-class leisure and tourism precinct. This will include world-class attractions and reimagined beach experiences, all with an emphasis on sustainability and retaining the island’s charm.
Find out more about the latest and upcoming experiences at Sentosa Island.
