I am not sure how many of us ever pay any attention to the URA Concept Plan which is being reviewed every 10 years. The Concept Plan is a strategic land use plan that will guide Singaproe’s development over the next 40 to 50 years in all land use such as housing, businesses, transport, infrastructure, recreation, and community needs. In real estate business, it is important to identify the gist of the Concept Plan which will mould and shape the Master Plan of Singapore in many ways.
