MND's "Land Use Beyond 2030" map of Singapore

Category : map

This is the map published in the Ministry of National Development's "A high quality living environment for all Singaporeans" released on 31 Jan 2013. The maps available online are small, but you can download the pdf from the MND webpage to examine larger views at: mnd.gov.sg/landuseplan.

Below is a screen grab of the pdf at 1530 by 973 pixels. Note that this land use map, like others issued in Master Plans in the past illustrate a "likely profile" of land use allocation and may not be definitive in every detail. Some reserve land patches have remained so over decades. Compare this with the URA 2001 Concept Plan map.

However, the map does provide some indication of intended outcomes and should be examined by every interested naturalist.

Ria Tan of WildSingapore examined the map and on her blog, Wild Shores of Singapore immediately queried "What shores will Singapore lose in 7-million population plan?"
