Sustainable Development
economic sustainability
How can it be achieved?
High enough population density
Supports local businesses
Sustain themselves due to sufficient demand for goods and services
allow shops to have demand for people to find employment
people can earn income thus improving standards of living
Buildings and other infrastructure are usually located close to one another.
Residents do not need to travel far
Transportation costs can be kept low within the community
For example: when schools are located near transport hub students may opt to walk over a short distance to school minimizing transport costs
transport infrastructure may be located close together
keeping cost to develop transport infrastructure low as connecting infastructre is not needed to be built over long distances
example: when a bus interchange is built close to a train station there is no need to build additionall infastrcuture to connect themn lowering the cost of development
Social sustainability
How can it be achieved?
Ensure residents feel included and have a shared identity
Keep population size in urban neighbourhoods small, to facilitate regular interactions among residents
Residents will come together to discuss issues affecting neighbourhood and find solutions
This will build resilience and positive relationships between residents.
open communication and mutual respect and understandings are built
allow mundane issues to be resolved locally
For example: residents' network was set up to promote neighbourliness, neighbourhoods were divided into smaller zones, and activities were then organised at each RN, encouraging residents to voice their opinions, regarding issues affecting their landscapes.
Shared community spaces to promote regular interections
enviromental sustainability
How can it be achived
Ample protection for nature
Wildlife can thrive in our urban spaces, human wildlife coexistence can be fostered
Efforts can be made to protect exiting native species to reestablish species
Example: N parks has multiple strategies to safeguard Singapore's habitats, which include implementation of species conservation
Biodiversity can be increased with a wide variety of habitats
types of plants and trees in a area should also be of different varieties
provide adequate shelter and food for wildlife to thrive
Example: 44 nature ways in Singapore connects area of high biodiversity
Facilities to support waste minimization and recycling
Conviniently located recycling facilities to encourage residents to recycle
High enough population density ensure adequte waste can be recycled, viably economicaly
Recycling encouraged by resident or town council activities
Example: Town council put up banners and poster to eductae residents
Enviromentally efficient design for buildings and lanscapes
Designed to be energy and water efficient to minimise use of resources
Eco friendly features can be installed
HDB green town proggram, cool paint used to lower temperatures, water harvested to wash void decks to reduce water consumption
