Behind the Scenes: Jurong Lake District, Singapore Panel Insights on the ULI Advisory Services Panel Process ULI
Behind the Scenes: Jurong Lake District, Singapore Panel Insights on the ULI Advisory Services Panel Process ULI or over 70 years, the Urban Land Institute (ULI)’s Advisory Services Programme has Fworked to bring together the finest expertise in real estate to provide insights on best practice in challenging land-use issues ranging from planning, to development, heritage, and regulatory policy. In total, ULI has now convened more than 600 Advisory Services Panels (ASPs), staffed by volunteers from its 40,000 inter-disciplinary membership base. By providing an unbiased outside point of view from this very deep pool of expertise, the Advisory Services programme has and continues to deliver fresh insights and innovative solutions to seemingly intractable real estate problems. In January 2018, the Ministry of National Development’s Centre for Liveable Cities (CLC) and the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) of Singapore (collectively known as ‘the Sponsors’) approached ULI to form an Advisory Services panel of ten highly qualified practitioners to provide strategic advice on Jurong Lake District, a growth area that is planned as a smart and sustainable mixed-use business district. Hailing from three continents and five countries, the ULI Jurong Lake District panel members (collectively known as “the Panel”) were selected based on their expertise in finance, master development, and transportation, as well as their ability to provide independent views on development strategies. The following piece further explores the Jurong Lake District panel’s scope and process. Background and the Panel’s Assignment Located in western Singapore, the 360-hectare Jurong Lake District encompasses two precincts: a commer- cial hub at Jurong Gateway, and a leisure, recreational and mixed-use area at Lakeside. -

The idea for a national garden was planted in 1822 when Sir Stamford Raffles, the founder of modern Singapore, developed the first Botanical and Experimental Garden at Fort Canning. In 1859, the Singapore Botanic Gardens was established at the Tanglin site and in the 160 years past, it has flourished from a pleasure garden for the colonial community to a place cherished by all Singaporeans, a botanical institution known internationally. Singapore’s greening journey took root in the 1960s when founding Prime Minister, Mr Lee Kuan Yew planted a Mempat Tree at Farrer Circus. This kickstarted a national effort for tree planting, sowing the seed of a green home where beautiful parks and green belts would be the birthright of every Singaporean. Today, the intricate lattice of greenery we have woven into the cityscape supports thriving biodiversity and provides residents with a quality living environment. This not only draws the appreciation and marvel of visitors, but has become a part of our national identity. -

Jurong Lake District
Plans for Singapore’s Second CBD Unveiled: Jurong Lake District The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) is calling for public feedback on master plan proposals to transform the Jurong Lake District (JLD) into Singapore’s second Central Business District (CBD). Mr Lawrence Wong, Minister for National Development and Second Minister for Finance, launched the exhibition showcasing the master plan proposals for JLD at the URA Centre on 25 August this year. Minister Lawrence Wong speaking at the exhibition launch showcasing the masterplan proposals for JLD. The 2008 Master Plan unveiled the blueprint for JLD to become a new growth area containing two precincts: a commercial hub at Jurong Gateway, and a leisure and recreational area at Lakeside. With over a million residents living in the west, JLD is well placed to grow into its full potential as the largest regional centre outside the CBD. The government’s decision to locate the Singapore-Kuala Lumpur High-Speed Rail terminus at Jurong East is also a game changer. It effectively makes JLD a new gateway to the region, facilitating easier cross-border business and travel between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. URA envisions JLD as a lively and vibrant mixed-use business district, with its own live-in population and an attractive street life for both locals and visitors. Together with the 90-hectare Jurong Lake Gardens, JLD will contain over 100ha of extensive greenery and open spaces. These spaces will extend into the surrounding neighbourhoods. Public transport will serve the district and seamlessly connect it to the rest of Singapore. Beyond the existing North- South and East-West MRT lines, JLD will also be served by the new Jurong Region Line and the Cross Island Line. -

These views and perceptions impact our relationship with the natural world. Note Some people see nature as wild and chaotic while others view nature as orderly, acting according to natural “laws”. There are those who perceive nature as an economic resource to be exploited for profit or for human enjoyment, yet there are also many who strongly believe that nature should be left untouched to flourish in its natural state. This issue of BiblioAsia looks at how human activities over the past 200 years have affected and transformed our physical environment, and how we are still living with the consequences today. This special edition accompanies an exciting new exhibition launched by the National Library – “Human x Nature” – at the Gallery on Level 10 of the National Library Building on Victoria Street. Do visit the exhibition, which will run until September this year. Georgina Wong, one of the curators of the show, opens this issue by exploring the relationship between European naturalists and the local community as plants and animals new to the West were uncovered. Not unexpectedly, indigenous input was often played down, dismissed, or exoticised. Farish Noor examines this phenomenon by taking a hard look at Walter Skeat’s book Malay Magic. -
