The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) will announce the winners for the ‘Journey of Possibilities Ideas Competition’ for the Rail Corridor (pictured) on 30 March 2012 at the URA Centre.
During the event, winners will share their ideas and innovative solutions to address some of the key challenges and issues on the Rail Corridor project.
“The Presentation of Winning Ideas for the Rail Corridor is part of URA’s continuing efforts to actively engage and involve the public in our plans to shape Singapore into a great city to live, work and play in. Through this presentation, we hope to involve more people to join us on this exciting journey to dream up possibilities for the Rail Corridor that could eventually be turned into reality,” said the URA.
Launched on 30 November last year, the competition received over 200 submissions as of the closing date on 9 March. It was divided into two categories – the Open Category for all interested participants and the Youth Challenge category for secondary school students.
In the Open Category, participants proposed innovative solutions for five main issues: Bio-diversity and sensitive development, inclusiveness, accessibility, resolving conflicts, community ownership, pride, well-being, heritage and extraordinary and innovative ideas for a great public space.
In the Youth Challenge category, students had to come up with proposals not just on the five issues, but “reflecting the interests and aspirations of the younger generation” and what the Rail Corridor means to them.
