Project Motivation
Singapore, the world’s third most densely populated place with 7148 people per km^2, is a city state with scarce land area of 721.5km^2 and population of 5.8 million people in 2019. With this limited land space, Singapore has to fit all its infrastructural needs such as housing, schools, transport network, parks etc to meet the needs of its people and reach social objectives while preventing overcrowding and balancing the demands for growth with maintaining Singapore’s status as a ‘Garden City’. Urban planning is also important in creating the ground for collaboration between local governments, private sector and public to take ownership of the quality of life in Singapore.
With the importance of urban planning in mind, we are motivated to use Geographic Information Systems to ensure improved urban planning for one of the planning areas in Singapore, Jurong East, by utilizing already collected data such as land use, population demographics and educational facilities as well as primary data.
