Mangrove restoration: 29.6ha

Mangrove buffer: 9.8 ha

Forest restoration: 38.8ha

Green & Blue Connection

Nature park: 76.4ha

Community park: 3ha

Green corridor: 6.7ha

Park A: Restoration & Innovation

+ Waterways for water treatment, irrigation, recreation

+ Food production, innovation

Park B: Restoration & Experience

+ Running through the whole site, connecting to park connector

Massing Type I

Waterways: Connection with Sungei Khatib Bongsu, Straits of Johor

Park trails: Walking & cycling; Connection with park connectors

Green corridors: Bring nature into communities; Connect residents to surrounding green

Mangrove restoration: Intentionally engineered ecosystems supported by the placement of permeable structures in front of coastline; 20 meters from existing mangroves designed as buffer zone, serving as a testbed for novel combinations of mangrove specie; minimal human footprint allowed in this area except for research and education.

Secondary forest restoration: Framework species method adopted to plan native nitrogen fixing species; avoiding destructive human activities, leisure activities like walking are still allowed for the public to enjoy the green benefits.

PLACEMAKING

FRESH Lim Chu Kang /

Planning for Singapore’s Agri-Food Hub for “30 by 30” Vision

Urban Planning and Design

Site Location: Lim Chu Kang, Singapore

Graduate Academic Work: Urban and Regional Planning (Team Work)

Instructors: Heng Chye Kiang, Jeffrey Ho, Rahul Mittal 09.2021 - 11.2021

The future of Lim Chu Kang will seek to transform the nature of current food system - from one that is linear and import reliant, to a future of circular and self-sufficient. This will help to increase Singapore’s food self-sufficiency through achieving of the 30 by 30 master plan and also falls in line with the sustainable practices of the zerowaste masterplan.

Lim Chu Kang will contribute to the national food system through provision of space for production and research, and cultivate the expertise in resource management, involving creating efficient and sustainable practices, a research campus, and increasing success through the involvement of the public.

We envision Lim Chu Kang to transform into a hyper-efficient agri-district to produce the freshest homegrown food, incubate fresh ideas, and to provide fresh experiences. This will lead to the creation of a fresh identity for the site in the future. We hope to leverage on the fresh qualities of produced food as a means to compete against imported food, and contribute to a new food identity in Singapore.

VISION

A hyper-efficient agri-district to produce the freshest homegrown food, incubate fresh ideas and provide fresh experiences

LCK'S CONTRIBUTION TO FOOD SYSTEM

Goals

Structure Plan

1. Eastern gateway more closed to urban living and residential; southern gateway leading to airbase / cemetery

2. Neo Tiew Road as part of Park Connector Plan, with several tourist attractions alongside

3. Poor green accessibility: within the site; abundant coastal natural resources

4. Existing egg farms and aqua farms

Master Plan

1. Eastern gateway: public; Southern gateway: logistics

2. Neo Tiew Road as rustic belt providing rustic feeling along PCN

3. Enhance green connection and accessibility to the surrounding green

4. Upgrade and expansion of existing protein clusters

GOAL 1: INTEGRATED FOOD DISTRICT

Clustered Production

INTEGRATED LCK

GOAL 1: INTEGRATED FOOD DISTRICT

LCK Gateway: Proximity to SBWR and external communities, suitable for public activities
