The announcement of the Singapore Green Plan is exciting in its ambition; a nationwide project targeted at achieving net-zero emissions in the second half of this century. The plan sounds promising on paper alone. By 2030, the government aims to add 1,000 hectares – roughly four times the land area of Marina Reservoir – of green spaces and plant a million trees across Singapore. There will be 150km of park connectors and every household will be a 10-minute walk away from a park.
The good news is that we don’t have to wait nine years before we start this realised vision, particularly in our central business district (CBD). In fact, Guoco Midtown, an upcoming development by GuocoLand, is ahead of the curve in providing us with a rather accurate peek into this ideal of a greener city.
The integrated mixed-use property – slated to be the second flagship after Guoco Tower – will be completed in phases from 2022, gradually changing the skyline and the landscape where it resides. It will mean that by next year, GuocoLand will have the most extensive privately developed collection of gardens in the CBD.
