Please watch the video.
My personal analysis after watching the video below.
Big changes - 4 gateways formed
1. Eastern Gateway
Changi Airport, Changi City and Changi Aviation Park
* Changi Airport terminal 5 to help add 50 million more capacity per year. Present capacity is 95 million. Honestly would 150 million ppl fly to Singapore every year ? Are they sure we can hit this capacity ? Sounds to me like canon fairy.
2. Northern Gateway
Woodlands Regional Centrez Woodlands Gateway and Punggol digital district.
For woodlands I forsee property price falling as well as rental falling with Malaysians choosing to rent at JB through easy connectivity via the RTS. I forsee the RTS to provide more harm than help to Singapore's GDP
Punggol digital district may work but is Singapore well known fr digital specialization? nothing specific so to me it's KIV
3. Western Gateway
Jurong Lake district, Jurong Innovation district, Tuas port, new housing as well.
The failed HSR project has greatly harmed this area hence the lack of growth. Fully automated Tuas port will add nothing much to the area except for port-airport connectivity which benefit mostly transnational shipping. Jurong Lake n Innovation district may benefit mostly malaysians coming via the RTS to supply labour fr this area. To note that this area is also at the SEZ checkpoint. I forsee that property price may fall slightly if the Jurong projects do not work out. As to what is an innovation district, again no specific details. Sounds like some scholar talk cock project.
4. Downtown core
Raffles place park
New leisure experiences
New Homes will be launched around Tanjong Pagar- I suspect we will see the 1st launch of the greater southern waterfront. Overall most of the changes in the Masterplan are in the central region. Central area no longer a place to work. They gnna transform the area to a place to live. Govt gnna build a lot more HDB in this area.
This is probably the biggest news of the master plan. Congrats ahead to everyone who will be getting a BTO here. Sure Huat. Just have to see if they will launch 5 room flags n ECs here for the ultimate Huat experience
5. Present projects to launched -
-Long island
-Transformation of Jurong Bird Park and Jurong Hill
-Turf City and Rail corridor.
Strategy has changed from Hub strategy to Urban resilience strategy.
Layman view means they are making generic Lego instead of specific Lego like they plan HSR then screw up last time plan cannot change. Present plan means everything must have mixed used include housing office n etc so anything happen they can make adjustments.
Pls come discuss your thoughts.
