The quality of the living environment involves many dimensions including the overall environment, the physical conditions of homes, and variety of housing choices offered for different lifestyle needs and aspirations, as well as the accessibility to community, social and commercial facilities, and recreation options.
The Master Plan shows how our towns are planned with a comprehensive range of facilities to meet the needs of current and future residents. The land use proposals safeguard for housing, shops, schools, libraries, sport facilities, community clubs and parks - all important in ensuring liveable, self-sufficient towns. The facilities are carefully distributed across each town to ensure good accessibility, supported by an efficient transport network.
The latest Master Plan is the Master Plan 2014. The key focus of the Master Plan 2014 is to build townships for all ages that are green, healthy, connected, strong in community interaction and spirit and to bring quality jobs closer to home.
The Master Plan 2014 aims to make Singapore a better home for our people through:
- Providing a quality living environment with a variety of housing options
- Bringing quality jobs closer to home and growing the financial and business hub in the city
- Expanding green and recreational spaces for all
- Building an endearing home
- Enhancing our transport connectivity and accessibility
- Enlivening our public spaces
