    Reimagining Water: Building a Resilient and Inclusive Singapore

    As Singapore grapples with the growing impacts of climate change, rapid urbanisation, and water scarcity, integrating nature-based solutions has become critical to shaping a more resilient, inclusive, and liveable city. This event will highlight biophilic strategies that strengthen water resilience across both coastal and inland environments, while addressing feasibility, spatial constraints, and potential trade-offs — providing actionable insights for planners, designers, and policymakers shaping Singapore’s water future.

    The panel will not only explore how agencies and sectors can collaborate through strategic planning, innovation, and a deeper understanding of existing systems to develop future-ready water strategies, but also access Singapore’s current flood mapping tools and water-related baselines, identifying gaps and opportunities for broader industry engagement. The discussion will further address how to enhance cross-sector coordination, foster community involvement, and design multi-functional water solutions that serve both people and the environment.
