Jurong Lake District Innovation Challenge
About Jurong Lake District
Jurong Lake District is a 410ha new growth area in western Singapore. It is the largest mixed-use business district outside Singapore’s city centre, and is developed to support our decentralisation efforts and to grow our economy. It is envisioned to be a model district that promotes urban sustainability and a healthy living environment for residents, workers, and visitors.
Jurong Lake District aims to achieve net zero emissions for new developments around 2045. This is part of Singapore’s national climate target to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
About the Jurong Lake District Innovation challenge
To realise our sustainability ambition, we must work with relevant stakeholders such as landlords, businesses, residents, and urban solution providers to innovate and experiment with new ideas and solutions to shape our collective, sustainable future.
We are calling for all start-ups, companies, institutes of higher learning, and research institutes to propose novel solutions to address the sustainability challenges facing the district.
Our partners in Jurong Lake District have come together to share their challenge statements, under the key themes below:
All new buildings in Jurong Lake District will be required to minimally achieve Green Mark Platinum (Super Low Energy) certification. Existing building owners are also actively seeking ways to reduce their energy consumption. Reducing the carbon footprint of the district will be a combined effort by residents, businesses and visitors; and should be made fun, educational and hassle-free.
Challenge Statements
Jurong Lake District supports the movement towards zero waste. More can be done to increase recycling rates by strengthening the effectiveness of strategies through the help of digitalisation.
Challenge Statements
Today, getting to Jurong Lake District is convenient using the established public transport network. By the 2030s, Jurong Lake District will be even more connected with four MRT lines serving it and at least 85% of all trips targeted to be made by Walk-Cycle-Ride modes of transport in 2035. We are seeking to implement a mix of strategies from infrastructural enhancements to behavioural nudges to make car-lite an integral part of everyone’s lifestyle choices in Jurong Lake District.
Challenge Statements
Smart technologies and automation will support a more efficient and connected way to live and work and has the potential to conserve and optimise water resources. In the long run, it could also reduce reliance on manpower for repetitive tasks and enhance the well-being of employees.
