5. Green mark This is a green building rating system to evaluate a building for its environmental impact and performance. Developers are encouraged to build green, sustainable, smart buildings which are more - climate responsive, - energy efficient and - have healthier indoor environments which have access to natural light and good ventilation.

6. Urban designers & Urban planners • Urban design deals with the large-scale organization and design of the city, with the massing and organisation of buildings and the space between them, but not with the design of the individual buildings. • The site has been already been allocated as part of the larger planning process • Key areas: Singapore River, Orchard Road shopping corridor, Marina Bay

7. Urban designers and urban planners • Urban planning: The planners, on the other hand, must typically consider the entire city. In fact the planners often look beyond the city and understand how the city functions as part of a larger region.
