Tanjong Pagar’s Sustainability Road Map to Environmental Resilience and Community Empowerment
A sustainable town, home for generations
Share to:
Fueled by a collective vision for a greener, more sustainable future, Tanjong Pagar has embarked on a path to environmental resilience and community empowerment. With a firm commitment to preserving its unique heritage and fostering a thriving ecosystem, we unveil our comprehensive Sustainability Road Map.
This visionary plan not only aims to reduce its ecological footprint but also seeks to engage and empower the community in sustainable practices. By harmonizing urban development with environmental conservation, the road map strives to create a model for sustainable living that resonates far beyond its borders.
As we move forward, we remain committed to refining our strategies, seeking community input, and collaborating with stakeholders to create a greener, cleaner, and more resilient Tanjong Pagar for all. Together, we can build a sustainable community that embraces growth without compromising the environment, heritage, and quality of life.
