Singapore Mega Wealth Development Plan for up to 2030 .

Small Country  Big Plans .
Recently , Singapore's  Government has  announced  its plan to allow for an increase in the city-state’s population to 6.9 million by 2030 which takes a span of at least  15 years from now . 
  The country's planners are already laying the groundwork to accommodate the increase. Housing,
 industrial properties  land transport and future amenities needs are being developed based on the new population estimates. Based on its previous target of 5.5 million, a  Revised new plan  will need to be well consider  to  make sure it will be sufficient to accommodate the amount of   people. So  some major
 changes are expected  to happen in  the near  future  as  they have to put  effort to ensure that there are sufficient resources for Singapore's residents.

The major  investment  will be very much focused   to Singapore Island  itself  , and these  new developments  plan  if realized  will foresee  Singapore creating local businesses  to thrive maintaining 
  jobs throughout Singapore for at least the next 20 years  and  it  is quite clear why  they  need to
 increase their population

As part of the  bigger picture,  yesterday ,  the Prime Minister  has  further disclose in  his National
 Day Rally speech  on Sunday  that ,  There are new  plans to upgrade the Changi  Airport  with  a
 Fourth runway , and a Sidelined  big  piece of land has been reserved to built another sister airport 
  , of which  will also  will   housed  a New Military  Airbase  with  a smaller runway for fighter jets .
Paya Lebar Airbase will be moved there later on. This will free up an area bigger than Bishan and 
Toa Payoh - around 800 ha - for new homes, offices, and factories ;
Relocating the airbase also removes height restrictions around Paya Lebar and frees up the authorities to develop new and exciting plans for the eastern part of Singapore , says PM lee
PM Lee also touched on other bold plans that are in progress.
These include building a new port in Tuas which is bigger and more efficient than current facilities, to
 maintain the country's premier position as one of the world's leading ports. This is  a Super Mega 
Value project ,and it  involves many heavy machineries and the cost could  exceed  even  those for the 
New Changi  airport upgrading

All container ports in Tanjong Pagar, Keppel, Brani and Pasir Panjang will be moved there when leases expire from 2027.This will also free up prime land in Tanjong Pagar, where a new southern waterfront
 city will be built. Occupying a space of about 1,000 ha, or 2.5 times the size of Marina Bay, it will stretch from Shenton Way to Pasir Panjang.

next to the  present  Changi Tower  will be rebuilt into a Changi Recreation center ,with a futuristic 
Dome Design  look  building housing  full recreation  facilities , for both   visitors , tourist  and even for Singaporean

PM Lee said the plans were examples of how Singapore needs to think and plan for the future.

"If we can carry off these plans, we will not have to worry about running out of space or possibilities in Singapore," he said.
