Jurong Lake District gets global grant from IBM
The Jurong Lake District has been selected as one of the recipients for the IBM Smarter Cities Challenge grant for 2012.
Jurong Lake District, a 360ha mixed-use district in western Singapore, is intended to support Singapore's economic growth for the next 10 to 15 years.
It will be the largest commercial node and regional centre outside the central business district, and will become one of Singapore’s new sustainable high-density districts. Developed as a smart district, Jurong Lake District will use resources more efficiently, optimise land, and enhance the quality of life for its workers, residents and visitors.
A joint press release issued by Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), and IBM stated that Jurong Lake District was selected based on the country’s ability to clearly articulate strategic issues with tangible impact on the lives of citizens, and which can potentially and reasonably be acted upon.
Also considered was the nation’s track record of innovative problem solving, and commitment to the use of technology and open data.
Launched in 2011, the Smarter Cities Challenge is a three-year, 100-city, US$50 million philanthropic initiative that funds in-person engagements by teams of top IBM experts, who study and then make detailed recommendations addressing locally important urban issues.
It is an outgrowth of IBM’s Corporate Service Corps grant programme, in which IBM deploys teams of experts to cities around the world to work on projects that intersect business, society and technology for worthy outcomes.

The 360ha Jurong Lake District is one of the new growth areas identified in the Urban Redevelopment Authority's (URA) Master Plan 2008 to support Singapore's economic growth for the next 10 to 15 years. It will decentralise commercial activities out of the city centre to bring jobs closer to where people live, and reduce the commute.
The Smarter Cities Challenge grant will allow the URA, the Economic Development Board (EDB) and their partner agencies to work with a team of IBM experts to explore innovative solutions to enhance Jurong Lake District as a smart, sustainable, and connected high-density district, they said in a joint press release on Friday.
"Each of the 33 global cities selected is different. But in all of them, there is one clear similarity: a strong commitment by the city's leadership to put in place the changes needed to help the city make smarter decisions," said Ms Janet Ang, Managing Director of IBM Singapore.
