Communities and clients have also better appreciated that beyond form, function and representation, design can be productive and even generative to human and larger planetary health. The urban community must learn from this health crisis to tackle the next bigger challenge: climate change. For that, we need to drive more responsible approaches and long-term structural changes to reduce the impact of our works on the environment through decarbonisation and preservation of biodiversity. The launch of Singapore Green Plan 2030 will further elevate the significance of this movement in shaping our profession’s way forward in the coming years.


With rapid urbanisation but heightened state of liveability, it is pertinent to push future communities to embrace the concepts of Hub Ecology and 10-minute Economy, which focuses on creating a resilient ecosystem that support local-based economies, closed-loop environmental networks, cultural integration and social cohesion.


In the more granular scale of the urban and social context, it is also essential to meet the needs of the smaller community group through more ground-up community-based support infrastructure.


Such a movement will also drive the design of synergistic community-building uniquely adapted to its physical and socio- cultural context. For example, through the organisation of synergy, the design of the Singapore Sports Hub, fits within a compact size, the diverse range of programmes that provides leisure and recreational opportunities 24/7, even on non-event days. In addition to integrating a rich array of programmes and facilities, one of Our Tampines Hub’s unique approaches was the extensive participatory and co-creation design processes with 13 public-sector stakeholders and the Tampines residents of all ages and interest groups.


Size matters; small is also beautiful. In the more granular scale of the urban and social context, it is also essential to meet the needs of the smaller community group through more ground-up community- based support infrastructure. Such an example is GoodLife! Makan, a 360-square metre senior activity centre situated at the void deck of an HDB block in Marine Parade, with a communal kitchen as its nucleus. Through the agency of food, the centre reconnects stay-alone elderly to the wider community to facilitate multi- generational exchanges and reframe the stay-alone seniors’ role as active stewards of the community.
