JTC: Singapore’s industrial master planner and developer.

Building sustainable, liveable and inclusive industrial estates for tomorrow

In June 2025, Minister for National Development Chee Hong Tat launched the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s (URA) Draft Master Plan 2025 (DMP2025) exhibition – a showcase of Singapore’s land use development for the next 10 – 15 years. A result of extensive public engagement, DMP2025 is shaped around four themes: (i) Shaping a happy healthy city; (ii) Enabling sustainable growth; (iii) Strengthening urban resilience and; (iv) Stewarding our nature and heritage.  

As Singapore’s industrial master planner and developer, JTC optimises industrial land to meet Singapore’s economic and societal needs.  

With manufacturing becoming smarter and more advanced, we’re now designing Industry 4.0-ready estates that incorporate new planning paradigms. As part of Singapore’s Smart Nation movement, we’re providing businesses a space to develop and test future-ready solutions in close collaboration with academia for the digital economy.

Reimagining Jurong Bird Park and Jurong Hill Ideas Competition

“Reimagining Former Jurong Bird Park & Jurong Hill” Ideas Competition

Attraction of the Past, Endless Possibilities for the Future

Were you among those captivated by the lush greenery and biodiversity of the former Jurong Bird Park? Or perhaps you remember the breathtaking panoramic views from Jurong Hill Tower and its Garden of Fame? In October 2024, JTC and URA launched a joint ideas competition to reimagine these iconic sites. The initiative sought innovative proposals to transform the 39-ha area—encompassing the former Bird Park, Jurong Hill Park, and the Village—into a vibrant community space for work and play.

The competition attracted 37 submissions, each offering unique visions that balanced the site's rich heritage with Singapore's future development needs. A distinguished panel of experts from the planning, architecture, real estate, and heritage sectors evaluated the entries and selected winners in both Open and Professional categories.

The winning submissions will also be showcased at the URA Draft Master Plan (DMP2025) exhibition, which is held at The URA Centre Atrium from 25 June to 29 November 2025.

Reimagining Singapore’s Industrial Landscape

Guided by a focus on innovation, sustainability, collaborative ecosystems, and community, blue-sky ideas offer glimpses of what’s possible when we think big.

How can we reimagine manufacturing in a city, where work, live, play, learn intertwine seamlessly? In February 2020, JTC called for a Request for Proposal (RFP) and invited local and international design professionals to submit concept proposals for the rejuvenation of our two mature industrial estates: Yishun and Kallang-Kolam Ayer.

This urban regeneration exercise showcased the power of partnerships in planning and building inclusive spaces for all, while also sparking a range of exciting ideas to improve connectivity, foster innovation, and strengthen community in our estates.
