        Hey! I just said this not half an hour ago in the Punggol East thread 😉

        [quote]7m population by 20xx? I have no problem with that. I have every confidence that Singapore can comfortably hold 7m people. But not if we cram all the financial and commercial sectors into Raffles Place/Shenton Way/Marina! And certainly not if we refuse to build infrastructure ahead of demand.[/quote]

              sigh… we already live in apartments that are getting smaller and smaller and we are just stacked on top of each other. i cannot imagine how it will be like when it’s our children’s time…

                  Nope. I’m already feeling a little suffocated here.

                      URA should move away from their simplistic formula of calculating density by use of the plot ratio. Simple fact is, a 1,500 sf apartment designed for a single family is not going to impose materially more strain on public infrastructure than a 900 sf apartment designed for a single family. URA should add an additional matrix of number of units per hectare, which will allow for an increase in plot ratio without adding to congestion.


                      There is no reason why people have to be crammed into ever shrinking apartments when Singapore has the engineering capacity and capital to build upwards. The major component of housing costs in Singapore now is land costs, not construction costs.
