Participants also went on site visits aligned with the respective delegation’s thematic interests. These facilitated applied learning through dialogue with experienced practitioners in urban greening, water management, and digital planning tools.

The delegation visited:

  • Marina Barrage and the Sustainable Singapore Gallery;

  • Singapore Botanic Garden and the orchid culture laboratories;

  • Singapore-ETH Centre’s Future Cities Lab for its digital simulations that aid urban planning; and

  • Bishan Ang Mo Kio Park for its river naturalisation and urban flood management design.

Conclusion

CLC’s Executive Director, Hugh Lim, noted the close ties between Singapore and both Indonesian cities and added that the value of knowledge exchange remains crucial. CLC looks forward to more of such exchanges in the future, with the support of various agencies and partners.
