Projection Motivation
At 40 odd-years, Yishun is considered a relatively young town with an abundance of undeveloped reserve sites that show potential for further development. It is also an area of Singapore that showcases a diverse landscape consisting of natural features like large water bodies and artificial features like commercial and business buildings that coexist within the same planning area. As one of the 3 pilot towns to be rejuvenated under the Remaking out Heartland (ROH) program in September 2007, Yishun has since undergone many transformations to become the vibrant town it is today. Hence, it will be interesting to see the changes that Yishun has undergone throughout the years and it will be a rewarding experience to attempt to plan for its future.
Project Objective
Our project aims to highlight the changes in land use and population demographics from the year 2008 to 2014. We will achieve this through the comparison of land use maps and data of Yishun’s population demographics for the year 2008 and 2014. Through our study, we hope to gain insights into the decision-making process that goes behind the creation of Singapore’s master plan that is produced every 5 years. Going further, we would like to suggest changes in land use for a master plan in the year 2024. The master plan will be based on estimates of the population demographics that exist in 2024. We hope the proposed master plan will bring about an improved quality of life for the residents of Yishun in 2024.
