An over-reliance on automobiles has negatively impacted the livability of Singapore, especially with urbanization and a rapidly increasing population. The transport sector contributes to 15% of Singapore’s greenhouse gas emissions, contributing significantly to air pollution and deterioration of the environment. Traffic congestion also imposes economic costs on the country. This has prompted the government to work towards a vision of a car-lite city. Therefore, understanding the level of ‘car-lite’ness of precincts is of paramount importance for the government and agencies to better take steps to focus future developments towards making precincts more car-lite. As such, this project aims to develop a set of matrices to measure the car-lite level of each precinct/neighborhood in Singapore. This matrices in union with a GIS mapping application with will enable better planning and prioritization of resources, to enable each neighborhood to attain a minimum level of car-lite. |
