The Integrated Planning Approach to Singapore’s Industrial Parks and Reflections on China’s Industry-City Integration: A Case Study on One-North
Abstract：
Since its inception in 2011, the concept of “industry-city integration” has gained continuous attentions in the field of urban planning. In the context of dual transformations in industry and cities, industrial parks have become important spatial carriers for achieving industry-city integration. However, discussions and practices have mainly focused on specific technical issues such as current situation assessment, land use planning, and facility layout, without forming a planning paradigm. This paper takes One-North as an example to introduce Singapore’s “integrated planning approach” for industrial park development and its potential implications for the planning and construction of industrial parks in China. Since the 21st century, JTC Corporation, Singapore’s industrial estate development and management department, proposed the “integrated planning approach” which involves the construction of integrated parks with diverse functions of “live-work-play-learn” through target system construction, planning and design strategies, and planning implementation. One-North, established in 2001, is a landmark project in Singapore’s journey towards industry-city integration guided by the approach. It has become a highland for the development of the knowledge economy in the new era and a “city within a city” that integrates production, living and ecology.
