Delegates were inspired by the ever changing landscape of Singapore during our international study tour focusing on planning, innovation & urban development.

Delegates were given first class access to some of the most ambitious and innovative buildings in the world – with the opportunity to explore the city’s changing skyline, from mixed use developments to luxury hotels, from urban renewal precincts to game-changing residential developments. They heard firsthand how Singapore’s urban renewal program is transforming the city from a colonial trading outpost to one of the most important global finance hubs in the world.

The tour was complimented with briefings and keynotes from some of Singapore’s most influential urban development thought leaders and policy makers.

To enhance their Singapore experience, delegates dined in the sky at Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay.

Every site tour, walking tour, briefing and keynote delivered in Singapore was carefully curated to deliver a holistic program of professional development learning's for delegates – centred around planning, innovation and urban development.

Participation in our Singapore Study Tour provided delegates the opportunity to learn:

- How to leverage innovations in construction to deliver challenging developments and new technology to design the cities of the future.

- How to implement cutting edge sustainable architectural practices in vertical developments.

- How to activate new precincts through retail, residential and commercial strategies tailored to the urban context.

- How to work with governments and stakeholders in the Asian region to deliver world-class projects.

- How sensitive urban renewal projects can enhance and give new life to existing historic precincts.

- How to plan the communities of the future - how innovative planned residential communities will shape modern cities.
