    Who We Are

    URA

    Who We Are

    To make Singapore a great city to live, work and play.

    “Across our history, URA has developed plans that look ahead and addressed Singapore's long-term development challenges.” – Mr Lim Eng Hwee, CEO of URA

    When we think about what makes up a city, we often envision buildings, roads, and infrastructures. Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) breathes life into the Singapore's cityscape, shaping not just our built environment but also the quality of our lifestyles.

    As the land use planning and conservation agency, we play a pivotal role in facilitating Singapore's physical development. Our work involves formulating the Long-Term Plan and the Master Plan often in partnership with the community.

    Our endearing city today is the outcome of these strategic plans. Moving forward, we will continue to meet the modern needs of our people without compromising our unique sense of history, nostalgia, and identity.
