Henning Larsen-led team with Ramboll, Cistri, Gehl, Participate in Design, and Camphora, has won the master plan consultancy to design a new green North-South Corridor Singapore, an unprecedented urban transformation project in the Asiatic city.

The design for the North-South Corridor project includes public transport integration, active mobility, community-focused spaces, and greenery along the 21.5 km, in four key sections: a 6km Community-Industrial segment, a 7km Ecological Loop, a 5km People’s Wellness Corridor, and a 3.5km Cultural-Heritage Segment with more than 20 highlights to explore. 

Henning Larsen-led team will embody Singapore’s vision of becoming a City in Nature, the project will connect neighbourhoods and historic districts creating new green spaces, and linear parks and enhancing urban ecosystems.

"I was 5 when my family moved from a village in Serangoon to the Queenstown HDB flats in the 1960s. With 10 of us in a tiny apartment, the common corridor became an extension of our home, where we laughed, cried, and built a sense of community in our newly independent nation. This experience shaped my understanding of how shared spaces can foster deep connections, even in the densest urban environments.

We’re not just redesigning a road; we’re crafting a living, breathing space that will become a blueprint for future mobility and urban living"

Leonard Ng, Country Market Director, Henning Larsen.

A new public square along Rochor Road will prioritize pedestrians, enhancing connectivity and social interaction in the city. This focal point will sit at the intersection of three neighbourhoods: Little India, Kampong Gelam, and Albert Street, symbolizing the city’s cultural diversity.

The master plan consultancy followed a two-stage Request for Proposal organized by Singapore’s Land Transport Authority, (that attracted participation by 26 local and international Design Teams). The initial master plan design is set to continue into 2026, over the next 18 months.
