AECOM Studies the Sustainability of Singapore's Marina Bay and Greater Southern Waterfront
AECOM's Marina Bay and Greater Southern Waterfront Sustainability Study
Seamlessly extending Singapore's downtown district to the water's edge, AECOM's conceptual development framework plan will transform the 698-hectare (1725-acre) Marina Bay and Greater Southern Waterfront into the nation's key focus of development for the next decade and further support the area's continuing growth as a major business and financial hub in Asia.
AECOM was selected by the Urban Redevelopment Authority to provide planning and design services that integrated sustainable design and engineering solutions.
“The long-term conceptual master plan includes benefits for the city such as a series of unique waterfront districts, promoting a network of walkable public space and a waterfront pathway for walking and cycling, as well as establishing a new reservoir for rainwater harvesting along with a human-scale canal area,” said Scott Dunn, AECOM director of development, vice president, Southeast Asia.
