SINGAPORE: From its towering ‘supertree’ vertical gardens to a Formula 1 night race, Singapore is known for many attractions; underground space is not one of them. But that may soon change, as the city-state prepares to unveil an Underground Master Plan in 2019. Arup's study found Singapore's underground rail density is slightly behind Tokyo's, and that it has the lowest density for underground pedestrian links. Besides the space crunch, the other driver for tapping underground space in Singapore is the weather, said Stones. The launch of Singapore's Underground Master Plan next year may be less glamorous, but no less significant.
