SINGAPORE – A further $115 million will be set aside to research Singapore’s most pressing development problems, and find solutions to improve city life for residents. This includes research on making the best use of available space, managing heat and noise, and implementing nature-based solutions. The additional funding for the Cities of Tomorrow research and development programme was announced by Second Minister for National Development Indranee Rajah on June 16 at the closing plenary of the World Cities Summit 2026. These research areas “reflect our commitment to build the tools and knowledge to manage density without compromising liveability”, said Indranee at the Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre.   https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/115-million-top-up-to-fund-research-on-optimising-space-and-other-urban-issues-in-singapore (ICE SINGAPORE)
