🌿 Exploring the Green Oasis of Singapore! Ever pondered over the lush greenery that blankets the skyline of Singapore? The answer lies in the transformative Skyrise Greenery Incentive Scheme (SGIS), a groundbreaking initiative funding up to 50% of installation costs for rooftop and vertical greenery projects on existing buildings! 💰 🌳 Over 200 structures have already reaped the benefits of SGIS, giving rise to an array of projects including community gardens and therapeutic rooftop havens. 🏡✨ 🌐 Launched in 2009 by NParks, SGIS perfectly aligns with Singapore's City in Nature vision and Green Plan 2030. It champions the creation of sustainable, well-maintained green spaces that contribute to climate, ecological, and social resilience. 💚 For projects to qualify under SGIS, they must meet several criteria: ✅ Contribute to climate, ecological, or social resilience. ✅ Prioritize safety by addressing wind and structural loading on elevated levels. ✅ Ensure maintainability with proper access. ✅ Boast a well-designed and lush landscape. ✅ Seamlessly integrate with the building's form and architecture. Above all, these green installations are intended to be permanent fixtures, enhancing both sustainability and aesthetics. 🌿🏢 Inspired by SGIS, cities worldwide can learn from this initiative to cultivate green infrastructure. Implementing similar programs can contribute to climate resilience, enhance biodiversity, and promote communal well-being. Let's collectively embrace sustainable practices by integrating rooftop and vertical greenery into urban landscapes, creating cities that thrive in harmony with nature. 🌿 Green up the roofs, the cities, the world! 🌍 #GreenCities #SustainableFuture #SkyriseGreenery #GreenRoofs #UrbanGreenery #Singapore #Singaporearchitecture #linkedin #greenbuilding

Caught up with Colin Low , CEO of Singapore Land Authority (SLA) over a cup of tea at Dempsey. Was very pleased to hear there is a very targeted approach to each asset class held by SLA, whether a hub, incubator, an impact space, arts experience or unconventional spaces for fashion, art, fnb, office, innovation, wellness centres, senior assisted living, elder care facilities , philanthropy, non profit work. I learned about OneMap, which is the national map of Singapore, developed by SLA, built on open sourced platforms. You can use it for a variety of things from Point of Interest Location and information (POIs) such as State Properties, Parks, Local Amenities,Healthcare, Schools, Land Lot and Land Ownership Information, Residential Property Information (Type/Property Price/ Transaction Period+++) . You can even find Real Time Traffic Information. ☺️ Colin showed me the exciting plans for the rejuvenation of Smith Street which will add some pizazz to Chinatown as it’s in the heart of the historic district. Smith Street is well known for its culinary diversity to many and local handicrafts . The joint project by Singapore Tourism Board Urban Redevelopment Authority of Singapore (URA) and Singapore Land Authority (SLA) will add much renewed vibrancy to the historic Chinatown conservation area.It has always been a signature/ must see destination for international visitors and local where we can see traditional festivals and celebrations, occasional performances, diverse cuisines, heritage and antiquity shops, and small tea houses. The new journey of renewal and innovation by integrating more diverse experiences for everyone, by mixing the traditional with contemporary modernity will definitely be a new must visit area soon. This being done while keeping to preserving the rich cultural heritage, while adapting to the evolving needs and preferences of residents, local community and visitors . Some examples are expansion of tenant mix to include possibilities like galleries (art, experiential/installation +++) , community programs , more workshops/ studios, showcasing more local artisans and telling our stories, serviced apartments maybe to co work/ co living spaces for some of the upper stories. Needless to say, what’s really exciting to me is how each person’s perspective of potential use of space is so different and that it’s a real delight to see the imaginative use of our State properties to create immersive and unforgettable settings / backdrops/ spaces. Memorable examples from global brands include Louis Vuitton (@pasir panjang power station),Tiffany (@ command house) and CHANEL (@ 11 Keppel Hill) among others. Exciting stuff Colin Low! #innovate #create #singapore

Today I had the privilege to attend Mainstreet SA’s breakfast presentation by Larry Lye Hock Mg from Singapore. He shared insights on "Towards Sustainable Urbanism" highlighting Singapore's journey towards sustainable development over the past 50+ years, including: 📈 Deliberate planning and good governance have been instrumental in Singapore's progress. 🌱Sustainable development entails balancing environmental, social, and economic factors, with a strong emphasis on consultation and community engagement. 💧 Adapting to climate change and enhancing resilience through initiatives like park connectors, vertical greenery, and efficient resource usage. 🌎 Embracing local and global trends such as active mobility, digitalization, and nature-based solutions. Larry highlighted Singapore's commitment to sustainability, emphasizing the importance of creating a self-sufficient ecosystem where wildlife coexists with the built environment. Truly inspiring to see how the city thrives on the principles of "Hardware, Software, and Heartware" to create a buzz in urban living. #SustainableDevelopment #EconomicDevelopment #Urbanism #SustainableUrbanism #RegenerativeEconomy #Mainstreets #MainstreetSA
