In addition to being close to the city center, Tengah EC is strategically located near several educational institutes and central business districts. It is also only 30 minutes drive away from Jurong Innovation District, a hub for advanced manufacturing. Additionally, Tengah EC is adjacent to the Jurong Lake District, which is the second largest central business district outside of the city center. And it will be within walking distance of a nature reserve.
Urban forest
The urban forest concept is a part of the overall plan of the Eco-City of Tengah, also known as Forest Town, Singapore. This former block factory and military training grounds has been developed into an urban forest to provide new homes and office spaces, while being environmentally friendly. The city will be home to some of the largest plantations in the world. The urban forest concept is based on green and sustainable living, and the development team is committed to integrating these principles into their projects.
By creating an urban forest, cities can benefit from improved climate conditions, water sources, and temperatures. One species, the maple tree, can absorb 150 kilograms of carbon dioxide every year. Cities need to plan green spaces to meet the different needs of people and the environment. They are a great way to do so. A large urban forest can help with all of these issues. Aside from providing the benefits of green spaces, urban forests also have the added benefit of improving the health and safety of citizens.
Recreational facilities
Located in the heart of Tengah town, the EC will feature green features and sustainable amenities for a healthier and more vibrant community. The community will have five districts, each encompassing a unique characteristic and style. These districts will create a skeleton for the EC, a mix of old and new. The town is also planned to be car-free, with cycling and walking infrastructure throughout the town.
The development process for the EC will be green. The building itself is constructed using green technologies. The building itself is located in a lush forest area. The design and architecture will have a unique blend of nature and green technology. The development will also cater to the needs of the young population that tends to work from home. The eco-centre will provide an environmentally-friendly working environment while maintaining a high standard of living.
Community gardens
The concept of a community garden in Tengah EC built on sustainability and green living goes beyond simple aesthetics. A sustainable town should also consider wildlife and plant life. By incorporating community gardens, residents can enjoy fresh, healthy produce and avoid wasting water. Whether the garden will be used as an edible or decorative space, it will be an important part of the overall plan of the town.
The concept of a community garden in Tengah EC was introduced as part of a master plan that was developed in the area. The development plan was conceived in collaboration with local residents and developers and is being implemented. To date, five projects have received government approval. The garden and other green features within the community will not only add value to the resale flats, but also educate residents on green living and sustainable living.
Farm-way growing the precincts
A vision of green transportation that connects to the thriving town of Jurong and surrounding areas is the foundation of Tengah EC. In addition to the planned MRT station, the site plan for the EC will feature railway lines and broad paved cycling paths. Residents will benefit from the proximity to the nearby MRT station and upcoming car-free town centre. Tengah EC will include commercial buildings and recreational amenities.
The district will also be home to a new community farm-way, which will stretch over 600 metres in length and 40 metres in width. The Farm-way will be a green recreational corridor that connects precincts within the Garden District. Community gardens will be located along the Garden Farmway, and the area will be suitable for three thousand square meters of community gardening. This will offer the residents the opportunity to enjoy a “farm-to-table” experience while engaging in a new way of life and kampung spirit.
