This insert consists of 13 pages including the cover page  Page 3 Resource 3 for Question 1 Realising the Marina Bay Vision The vision for Marina Bay is that of a hi gh-quality, 24/7 live-work-play environment, one that encapsulates the essence of the global city that Singapore can be. The aim is to raise the international profile of Singapore while spurring growth and investment. The Master Plan for Marina Bay focuses on encouraging a mix of uses – commercial, residential, hotel and entertainment – to ensure that the area is vibrant round the clock. The concept of ‘white’ site zoning also gives developers more flexibility on the mix of uses for each site, including housing, offices, shops, hotels, recreational facilities and public spaces. Along the waterfront and fronting key open spaces, building heights are kept low to maximise views for developments further away from the waterfront. This enhances their attractiveness and will create a dynamic ‘stepped-up’ skyline profile and more pedestrian scaled areas. The successful development of Marina Ba y is supported by state-of- the-art infrastructure. To date, the government has pumped in more than S$4.5 billion into the area’s development. An extensive road and rail network has also been planned, with three MRT stations to be built in the area as part of the new Downtown rail line. Bayfront will be linked to Marina Centre by a new vehicular bridge and a 280m dynamic double helix pedestrian bridge – the longest in Singapore. The bridge leads to a new waterfront promenade, creating a continuous walking loop connecting the necklace of attractions and open spaces around the Bay. Global investors are quick to spot a good opportunity and the Marina Bay project has attracted some S$16.5 billi on in private investments to date from investors and developers from the US, Hong Kong, Australia, Europe and the Middle East.
