Government has ‘high ambitions’ for Jurong Lake District to be a site for sustainable living

The Government has “high ambitions for the Jurong Lake District (JLD) to be a demonstrative site for sustainable living” in addition to being the largest commercial district outside Singapore’s city centre, Minister for National Development Desmond Lee said. Speaking during his visit to the Housing Board’s first rooftop allotment garden in Jurong on Sunday, Mr Lee said in response to The Straits Times’ query that the Government “wants the master developer to help to plan for and catalyse the Jurong Lake District”.
