More buildings should consider lighting up their buildings at night. Building up the buzz 9 . That will mean more housing opportunities, both public and private, for all. The government will continue to facilitate this process by releasing land for mixed uses and also specifically for housing in the Central Area. Making the city centre more accessible 10 .
Accessibility is another key factor in making the city centre more vibrant.
In the new Concept Plan, we have made provisions for new rail lines into the city, making it convenient for people to get in and around the city. Another aspect of accessibility is pedestrian-friendliness. URA and LTA have plans for a more comprehensive pedestrian network in the city. Currently, we already have extensive pedestrian networks at the Raffles Place and Orchard MRT Stations - with underground links connecting directly to surrounding shops and buildings. Some sites with similar underground links have been sold at Raffles Link and more recently, the New Downtown.
