Here are 3️⃣ ways we’ve been greening our city through LUSH! 🌱 Short for 'Landscaping for Urban Spaces and High-Rises', the LUSH programme encourages developers to creatively re-introduce greenery in new or redeveloped buildings. This gives us more green spaces to enjoy and pops of green in our distinctive cityscape. Learn more about how we are shaping a green and liveable city for all in our urban design guide: https://lnkd.in/grk9zWYD #greencity #urbanplanning #CityinNature

Celebrating 50 years of shaping a great city! 🎉 Earlier this month, we marked our 50th anniversary with over 600 officers and 100 alumni coming together to reflect on URA’s journey. As Singapore’s land use planning agency, we have been on the forefront of transforming Singapore into a modern metropolis and a global economic hub. This would not have been possible without past and present officers. Our heartfelt appreciation to everyone who have been part of this journey, especially our alumni whose vision and passion have laid the foundation for our success. We are excited to build on their legacy and shape Singapore into an even greater city and home for the next 50 years and beyond. #URASpirit
