  3. What happens if there are no planning restrictions? • Developers will build as high as possible to maximise built up area • Most of land will be used for commercial uses since retail tenants pay the high rents as compared with other uses eg community uses such as schools • Areas set aside for roads will be minimised since costs are high and the return (from tolls) may not justify the cost

  4. The need for planning control • Interconnectedness • Sustainability

  5. Planning controls cover: 1. Type of use – residential, commercial (office, retail), hotel, industrial and mix of uses through Zoning 2. Intensity/density – height allowable through Plot ratio and approval on Sub-division 3. Infrastructure – roads, utilities, sea port, airport through capital investment 4. Preservation of the environment 5. Protection of buildings and sites of historical value 6. Ownership – public, private, foreign ownership

  6. How does urban planning contribute to the economy? • Allocation of land for commercial and industrial use • Transport infrastructure • Good urban design adds economic value

  7. Legal basis of planning • Planning Act • Singapore Land Authority Act • Land Acquisitions Act • Residential Property Act • Housing Developers (Control & Licensing) Act • Sale of Commercial Properties Act • Land Titles Strata Act • Property Tax Act • Stamp Duty Act

  9. Garden City Movement • Self-contained communities surrounded by “greenbelts” or parks and containing separate areas for residences, industry and agriculture. • Planned on a concentric pattern with open spaces, public parks and six radial boulevards. • When it reached full population, another garden city would be developed nearby.
