The Master Plan 2025 is officially gazetted on 01 December 2025. The Master Plan is the statutory land use plan that guides the physical development of Singapore over the next 10 to 15 years. The gazette concludes the review of the Master Plan and a two-year long public engagement programme.

The Master Plan 2025 (MP2025) is officially gazetted today. This marks the conclusion of a two-year long public engagement, the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s (URA) most extensive to date, to steer the next phase of Singapore’s urban transformation. The Master Plan is the statutory land use plan that guides the physical development of Singapore over the next 10 to 15 years, and it builds on the conversations and strategies developed in the Long-Term Plan. With the gazette, URA will formally adopt MP2025 as Singapore’s official land use plan and guiding blueprint for the coming years.

Master Plan 2025: Shaped by URA’s largest ever public engagement

2     The Draft Master Plan 2025 (DMP2025) was exhibited at the URA Centre and 14 other locations islandwide from 25 June to 29 November 2025, showcasing plans and strategies to make Singapore a more liveable, inclusive and endearing home where generations can fulfill their aspirations and thrive, focusing on:

       i. Shaping a Happy and Healthy City with more inclusive homes and support for active lifestyles and ageing-in-place as well as connected and accessible spaces;

       ii. Enabling Sustainable Growth with a vibrant economy that creates opportunities for all;

       iii. Strengthening Urban Resilience by leveraging creative solutions to optimise land and combat climate change; and

       iv. Stewarding Nature and Heritage by enhancing our natural capital and shaping a home that we cherish.

3     In shaping the DMP2025, URA engaged close to 220,000 people from October 2023 to June 2025 to gather their ideas and feedback on development plans. Through a variety of platforms such as exhibitions, dialogues, focus group discussions and surveys, the public engagement aimed to ensure that the DMP2025 reflects Singaporeans’ aspirations while balancing national priorities with community and individual interests.

Reaffirming the public’s aspirations for Singapore’s next phase of urban transformation at the DMP2025 exhibition

4     The DMP2025 exhibition was visited by almost 250,000 stakeholders and members of the public. This marks the highest visitorship for an urban planning exhibition by URA to date. In addition, nearly 500,000 visitors viewed the DMP2025 exhibition website.

5     During the exhibition period, URA continued to engage the public and stakeholders on their feedback on the proposed plans through various platforms such as surveys, workshops, and guided exhibition tours by URA volunteers and staff. Through Dream Lab, an interactive AI-powered platform, exhibition visitors also visualised their ideas for 16 future development sites using AI-generated images.

6     The feedback received reflected the priorities that Singaporeans have for their future living environment, and reaffirmed the key considerations that informed the new housing areas and business nodes proposals in the DMP2025. Notably, Singaporeans hoped for more connected neighbourhoods with convenient access to daily amenities, community spaces, transport nodes and their jobs. They also valued having more parks and recreational spaces to support active living and well-being, and recognised the importance of striking a careful balance between development needs and conserving our built heritage.

Translating collective aspirations into reality

8     Agencies will start to translate some of the proposals under MP2025 into reality in the immediate years ahead, to support housing aspirations and demand, enliven our city centre, and enhance recreational experiences.

9     The development of some new neighbourhoods will progress steadily in the coming years. At Bukit Timah Turf City, agencies will kickstart preparatory works for a progressive transformation of the former racecourse site into a new housing estate woven with greenery and heritage. Similarly, at Kranji, the site occupied by the former Singapore Racecourse will be redeveloped as a vibrant new housing estate. A consultancy tender will be called next year to develop a detailed master plan for the site, incorporating stakeholders’ ideas for the future estate where possible.

10     Singaporeans can look forward to more diverse and inclusive recreational experiences across the island, with agencies partnering stakeholders to activate new spaces for sports and community uses. URA is working with agencies to release sites for interim sports uses at Marina Bay to add to the variety of activities in the area. The Rail Corridor will also welcome a new community node at the heart of its 24-kilometre green spine, with works for the Queensway community node commencing next year, following extensive engagements with residents and the architectural community.

11     As part of MP2025, URA has also conserved a total of 33 buildings that represent significant aspects of Singapore’s history, across the themes of economy, housing, social and defence. In developing detailed plans, agencies will consider how best to sensitively integrate the buildings with future developments and meaningfully adapt them to support new uses.

Continuing to chart the next chapter of Singapore’s future together

13     Ms Adele Tan, Chief Planner of URA, said, “It has been an extraordinary journey over the past two years as Singaporeans and stakeholders joined us in extensive conversations to shape our city and home to reflect not only their aspirations today but also those of future generations. We are very encouraged by the strong sense of stewardship, and we thank Singaporeans for contributing their views and diverse perspectives that have made the Master Plan more inclusive. Although this review has concluded, our partnership does not end here. We will continue engaging Singaporeans and stakeholders as we bring these plans to life, to make Singapore an even better city to live, work and play.”
