Electricite de France (EDF) will set up its Asian Sustainable Cities Centre of Excellence in Singapore.
The research and development (R&D) centre, devoted to urban planning, aims to develop and perform new partnerships with local agencies as well as other cities in the region.
Last year, EDF and HDB signed an agreement to develop a ground-breaking urban planning tool, which will cover the conception phase, energy and environmental dimensions, as well as greenery, water, waste and transport in the urban space using Yuhua estate, HDB’s Greenprint neighbourhood in Jurong East, as an example.
