Discover Singapore through city planning, sustainability and teamwork. Explore real places, gather evidence and work with your team to propose a future neighbourhood. Fee: S$168 per participant, including GST.
How might we design a future neighbourhood that is liveable, sustainable, inclusive, connected and enjoyable for the people who live there?
Pilot concept
What participants will explore
- Understand how planning choices shape a neighbourhood.
- Observe sustainability features in a real community.
- Consider different residents and their daily needs.
- Explain trade-offs between different design options.
- Collaborate and present a future neighbourhood proposal.
Team output on the day
- A simple neighbourhood plan or visual concept.
- Three to five key design features with clear reasons.
- Evidence and examples from both site visits.
- An explanation of how the design supports different residents.
- A short presentation and questions during the Future City Forum.
This one-day pilot tests the concept for a future five-day programme. It is not a compressed five-day camp.
