Singapore Explores Community Project Feasibility for Urban Farming

CNA938 Singapore Singapore 15d15d Impact 6
The Institute of Policy Studies in Singapore incorporated a community area, an amphitheater, into its design. This process involved deliberation among individuals to understand each other's priorities and lived experiences. Photographs of the amphitheater are visible on the Institute's social media. Residents have proposed ideas such as turning spaces between blocks into dog runs and adding benches in void decks. One proposal involved creating a 'Sportwood' marker, playing on the similarity to 'Hollywood', to foster identity and heritage. The initiative aims to create a sense of ownership and participation among residents in shaping their local environment.

“back, that process of deliberation with one another, understanding somebody else's priorities and what they wanted from their lived experience. I thought shape, that was something that we designed in. And it was something that we took away. To answer your question, there were four main buckets. One was the amphitheater. So if you look at the Institute of Policy Studies social media, whether it's on Instagram or Facebook, you would see a photograph of the amphitheater. It's a community area.”

“you would see a photograph of the amphitheater. It's a community area. who are very famous and most eligible sport now, pickleball. And so they wanted half of the basketball court to be turned into a pickleball court. The third thing that came out was around... That could be contentious but okay, moving on. One was around green and wellness spaces. So in the multi-story kapak, there was a level four and level five, and they felt that that was underutilized. And they wondered whether they could be turned into meditation gardens, or herbs and stubble gardens, urban farming.”

“be turned into meditation gardens, or herbs and stubble gardens, urban farming. And then the fourth one was a different sort of ideas coming out. One was somebody came with his dog and there was a group of them who said, actually between two blocks, there's some space. Can we turn that into a dog run?”

“The feasibility committee will sit as the Town Council, HDB, the research team from the Institute of Policy Studies, as well as the residents network. And the reason we're having that is not to assess whether the ideas are better or not.”
