The Innovative Approach to Urban Planning
Surbana Jurong, a renowned urban planning and development company, has been at the forefront of innovative urban planning in Singapore. Their approach to designing and developing estates is not just about building structures, but about creating a holistic and sustainable community that integrates with its surroundings. This is evident in their design for the Surbana Jurong estate, which has won numerous awards for its innovative approach to urban planning.
The Importance of Integration with the Environment
One of the key principles of Surbana Jurong’s approach is integration with the environment. This means that the design of the estate takes into account the natural surroundings, including the landscape, biodiversity, and waterways. In the case of Surbana Jurong, the company used the area’s landscape and rich biodiversity as inspiration when designing the estate’s facilities. The estate’s design incorporates a river, Sungei Serangoon, which runs alongside the estate. This river was used as a natural boundary and a source of inspiration for the design of the estate’s facilities. The company also incorporated native plants and trees into the design, which not only provide aesthetic value but also help to mitigate the urban heat island effect. The use of green spaces and parks also helps to reduce the urban heat island effect and provides a natural oasis for residents.
