The URA trip today was fascinating. Under Singapore's architecture lies so many plannings and factors. In every single building, lies so much planning and a story. In the past, it is thought that buildings are just constructed there. End of story. But, there is more to that. The URA(Urban Redevelopment Authority) is responsible to manage building amenities and planning in Singapore. They work hand-in-hand with other government sectors such as PUB, JTC, LTA etc so as to make sure that all aspects of urban planning in terms of facilities, transport and needs are totally covered and that it fits the needs of Singaporeans. The URA has a large responsibility in their hands. They manage land sales(selling of land) and set aside every 10 year plans known as the Concept Plan. If necessary, they will have to review it if the situation in Singapore does not go accordingly or if necessary changes have to be made. Their building plans and models really impressed me.
Here are some photos taken during the trip there:
