The team led by KCAP Architects&Planners (KCAP) has been appointed as consultant to develop the detailed master plan for the Jurong Lake District, revealed the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) on Wednesday (8 February).

This comes after its proposal received the highest score among the five teams shortlisted for stage two of the Jurong Lake District Request for Proposal (RFP) exercise.

The URA noted that the team’s proposal best met the expectations and requirements of the RFP as it featured a “sensitive focus on water and greenery, which incorporates new waterways and a series of green spaces and connections that weave through the entire district to create a strong, distinctive identity”.

“Evaluation panel members were similarly impressed with the proposed urban typology that integrates with the green setting beside Jurong Lake, which at the same time places emphasis on creating active, walkable streets and interactive public spaces,” it said.

Over the next few months, the team will work with the URA and relevant agencies to refine the master plan and draw up detailed proposals for the Jurong Lake District, with the proposals set to be exhibited in mid-2017.

During the exhibition period, the public are encouraged to give their feedback on the detailed proposal. Thereafter, the URA will work with the consultant to review and incorporate the feedback where appropriate, before finalising the master plan.
