Singapore Transport Hub

A brand new second business district outside central Singapore is currently under construction target for completion in year 2027.

The feature of the masterplan is the horizontal connectivity between the various landmarks in this development. This will most like be a common development feature in a city like Singapore where land is scarce and people have no choice but to live in high rise buildings. The horizontal link bridges not only help moving people within the development but also double up as communal spaces in the sky. Residents don't have to go all the way down to the ground to do their exercise or catch up with friends.
