Details :

After a 2-year public engagement exercise on the Review of the Urban Renewal Strategy (URS), the New URS was promulgated by the Government in Feb 2011 and it stresses on "People First, District Based, and Public Participatory Approach". New initiatives have been formulated to allow new modes of redevelopment which could reflect these central principles. In addition to the existing URA self-initiated redevelopment projects, URA may act as a Facilitator to help private owners to assemble titles for public auction, or as an implementation agent in Demand-led redevelopment projects. The main objective is to help speed up urban renewal.
