Master Plan 1998 Region Boundary (No Sea)
URA Master Plan 1998 region boundaries for Singapore—excluding sea areas—appear in this collection as indicative polygons in KML and SHP. The official description explains URA’s hierarchy of regions, planning areas, and subzones, each region serving more than half a million people with mixed uses and a regional centre. Historical planners and researchers comparing long-term land-use evolution can map 1998 regional geography against later master plans. Boundaries may not coincide with built-up reality in some areas, as URA cautions in the catalogue text.
Official description
Indicative polygon of region boundary. To facilitate urban planning, the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) divides Singapore into regions, planning areas and subzones. Each region has a population size of more than 500,000 people and provide a mix of residential, commercial, business and recreational areas. Each region will be served by a Regional Centre to complement the activities in the Central Business District. The Master Plan 1998 is a forward looking guiding plan for Singapore''s development in the medium term over the next 10 to 15 years and the planning boundaries may not coincide with existing developments for some areas.
