Rezoning of Land Across Singapore to Unlock 12,000 New Homes
In a major move to expand housing supply, the government is set to rezone land in 11 areas across Singapore for residential use. This initiative, proposed under amendments to the Master Plan 2019 by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), could yield up to 12,000 new homes — both public and private — in the near term.
Key Areas for Redevelopment

A new site with a plot ratio of 4.3 could yield around 1,000 public flats.
