How can we improve last-mile challenges for delivery riders? As a co-lead of the Tripartite Workgroup^ for last-mile deliveries, we recently brought more than 60 stakeholders together for a focus group discussion. Participants actively shared insights and ideas to develop potential solutions, so that we can move towards facilitating #SmootherDeliveriesForAll! 💡 Some of the ideas have been implemented in developments such as Jurong Point Mall and Lake Grande condominium such as clear wayfinding signages, dedicated waiting areas for delivery riders, and a WhatsApp channel providing on-site conditions and safety information. We visited the developments to study the feasibility of scaling up some of these solutions last Friday. 👉 Stay tuned for a showcase of more potential solutions at an exhibition later this year, as part of our Draft Master Plan 2025 public engagement. #DMP2025 #SpaceforOurDreams #LastMileSolutions (^The Tripartite Workgroup comprises: Urban Redevelopment Authority, Land Transport Authority (LTA) Singapore, Building and Construction Authority, Enterprise Singapore, @National Delivery Champions Association, Singapore Logistics Association, Digital Platforms Industry Association, Security Association Singapore (SAS), Real Estate Developers' Association of Singapore (REDAS), The MCST Association of Singapore, Association of Property and Facility Managers, Association of Strata Managers )

Join us in congratulating the recipients of the Ministry of National Development Singapore (MND) EDGE Scholarship programme! Out of 29 MND EDGE scholarship recipients, seven will begin their journey with us to shape Singapore as a great city to live, work and play. Among them are Sim Heng Ee and Luke Tan, who are eager to share fresh perspectives and ideas to build a better future for Singaporeans. Heng Ee's passion for our urban environment was sparked when he participated in a 2019 photography project with us and connected with the work that our planners and architects do in transformation projects such as Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park. He aims to foster partnerships with Singaporeans to create well-loved spaces through urban design and meaningfully contribute to shaping Singapore’s urban landscape with his upcoming experiences abroad. As a home-schooled child, Luke had a hands-on education in pursuing his interest in technology, from fixing electronics to teaching visual programming languages at the age of 14. Inspired by Singapore's efficient public transport and interconnected city planning, Luke is excited to leverage technology like data analysis and AI to understand how cities work and contribute to deriving sustainable and practical solutions for Singapore's urban planning challenges. All the best to our MND EDGE scholarship recipients and welcome to the MND family! #URASpirit

We are proud to announce that we have received Esri's Special Achievement in Geographic Information System (GIS) Award for the Integrated 3D System of Record on our ePlanner. ePlanner empowers users to easily tap on a whole suite of data-driven urban planning and design capabilities to enhance planning work. Over 1,600 government officials, including planners and architects, are able to access and analyse geospatial data for various projects across different agencies. This has enabled them to collaborate more efficiently and make informed urban planning decisions, helping in the realisation of plans to create a highly liveable city for all. Join us in congratulating our Design & Planning Lab team on their win! They also had the opportunity to take to the stage at the Esri User Conference, the world’s largest GIS conference, with our colleagues at the National Parks Board to share our collaborative efforts in planning a City in Nature. 🎥: Watch it now at: https://lnkd.in/gpyy5EqH (Image credit: Esri)

Congratulations to our Golden Mile Complex team for winning the Public Sector Transformation Award 2024! 🎉 They have been recognised for their dedicated efforts in engaging diverse groups of stakeholders – leading to the conservation of the first modern large-scale strata-titled development in Singapore. The team saw great potential in retrofitting the modern building for adaptive reuse and there was strong support for the building’s architectural and historical merits. However, given that this would be the first sale of such a development in Singapore, they also recognised that it was key to strike a balance between public and private interests. The team engaged in multiple conversations with building owners, stakeholders, and domain experts, as well as offered a package of incentives to support the retention of the building for new needs. Their efforts in successfully conserving Golden Mile Complex mark a major milestone in our conservation journey!
