sg's land transport master plan: long term plan to shape the future of land transport. LTMP aims to develop a transport network that is convenient, well-connected and fast. looks at developing inclusive infrastructure, promoting gracious behaviours and enabling safer journeys by public. integrated land use transport planning results in well-planned towns and cities with plenty of opportunities for employment, education, healthcare, recreation and other services, thereby reducing the travel time, the need to travel far or make frequent single trips. by 2024, the LTMP aims to develop "20-min towns" and a "45-min city". the goal is for journeys made using public, active shared modes of transport to neighbourhood centres and across the city to be completed within 20min and 45min respectively during peak periods
integrated land use and transport plans requires close coordination and communication between different stakeholders to balance social, economic and transport needs
- takes time and involves huge investments in infrastructure design and development
- e.g. to motivate active mobility, designing and developing pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure is key. walkable distance from a location, known as pedestrian shed is usually defined as a 5min or 400m walk. having wide, shaded paths with attractive building facades and shopfronts within the pedestrian shed helps to provide comfortable walking experience
