Speaking on a panel at the World Cities Summit on June 15, Tan points to Punggol Digital District (PDD) as a blueprint for how industrial development is moving beyond the conventional industrial estate model.
Singapore’s industrial estates can no longer be just “mono-land-use” developments. Instead, the future of industrial development lies in creating industrial ecosystems anchored by three dimensions — polycentric mixed-use developments, high-value industry ecosystems and sustainable technologies that support industrial operations, says David Tan, assistant CEO, development group, JTC Corporation.
