Ratio of land consumption rate to population growth rate
Singapore is a city state that is already highly urbanised. Beyond supporting population growth, land is also used for a variety of strategic objectives, such as national defence and economic trade. Singapore takes a long-term approach towards land use planning to ensure that we have sufficient land to grow sustainably to meet our present and future needs, and provide a high-quality living environment for all Singaporeans. Singapore's development is guided by the Long-Term Plan and the Master Plan where we have balanced different competing needs to achieve sustainable development economically, socially, and environmentally. We constantly find ways to optimise our land through building higher, co-locating uses and recycling land for redevelopment as leases expire so that we can set aside land and space for parks, nature areas and nature reserves. We also set aside land for strategic reserves to meet unanticipated needs.
