Green and Low-carbon Systematic Solutions for New Towns in Singapore:Taking Punggol New Town as an Example
Green, low-carbon, and high-quality development is an important measure to respond to the requirements of the Report to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China to "accelerate the green transformation of the development model". Green, low-carbon, and livable towns are the main approach to achieve the "dual carbon" goals. By sorting out the development history of new towns in Singapore, this article takes the Punggol New Town, a representative of the fifth-generation new towns, as an example to study its green and low-carbon planning and construction concepts and technologies. Through the perspectives of green units, green buildings, green ecology, and green technology, this article analyzes Singapore's path to build a new town that applies green and low-carbon planning methods, a new town that is livable and friendly for business, and a new town that considers the cutting-edge technology and art. This article provides insights for green and low-carbon cities, and for the coordinated development of affordable housing, urban public transportation, and infrastructure construction during the new period of our nation.
