Youths share their vision of Singapore’s future living and working environment
The Long-Term Plan Review (LTPR) maps out Singapore’s land use plans and needs over the next 50 years to ensure that Singapore remains liveable and sustainable for current and future generations. URA has conceptualised four pillars as outcomes for Singapore’s urban environment – Inclusive, Adaptable and Resilient, Sustainable, and Distinctive and Endearing.
Planning for current and future land use needs requires consideration of opportunities and challenges in the longer-term. How can we creatively use our limited land space to meet the different needs and aspirations of people living in Singapore?
The National Youth Council (NYC) engaged youths in conversations to seek youths’ perspectives on urban planning, allow youths to hear from fellow thought leaders and experts, and gather creative insights to contribute towards the LTPR.
Beyond these conversations, NYC has also provided opportunities for youths to take ground-up action to champion and make a difference in the community.
