Proposal

Project Motivation

Singapore is a land scarce island with a total area of 721.5 square kilometres that accommodates to approximately 5.8 million people. This makes land use planning in Singapore a crucial process that not only requires meticulous planning but also the need to follow a set of standard procedures. Different areas of land need to cater for different facilities while taking into consideration the changing population demographics. Using systems such as Geospatial technology and relevant data sources, we can analyse the change in characteristics of Serangoon and improve the efficiency of urban planning process.


About Serangoon

Serangoon is named after a bird commonly found in the riverine swamps around the Serangoon River and is located in the central part of Singapore, within the North-eastern region. It mainly consists of residential buildings with a total land area of 10.1km² and total population size of 116,310 as of June 2019. The area attracted more people after Nex, a shopping mall connected to a bus interchange, and the Serangoon Circle Line MRT station were built in 2010.
