The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) is Singapore’s government agency responsible for land use planning and conservation. Its mandate encompasses long-range planning through strategic frameworks that guide sustainable growth and support the economy. It also acts as the principal government agent for land sales and applies regulatory oversight to ensure development aligns with planning and conservation goals. Based in Singapore’s Central Region, URA employs hundreds of staff and works with communities to shape a liveable city with well-designed public spaces and a car-light, people-friendly environment. In May 2026, URA partnered with the Centre for Liveable Cities to organise a biennial Summit, bringing together government, industry and academia to address urban liveability and sustainability challenges.
