[LUSH] Planning for greenery in Singapore has always been important to provide a quality living environment, and as a strategy to strengthen our City in a Garden identity. In 2009, URA introduced the Landscaping for Urban Spaces and High-Rises (LUSH) programme to encourage pervasive and accessible greenery in our high-rise urban environment. In 2014, the LUSH programme was extended to cover more geographical areas and development types under LUSH 2.0.

LUSH 3.0 builds on the achievements of the earlier phases of LUSH. It seeks to further enhance the quality of greenery in developments, as well as encourage more sustainability features. The refinements are as follows:

1) To count vertical greenery and extensive green roofs towards the Landscape Replacement Area requirements;

2) To support rooftop urban farming through the Landscape Replacement scheme;

3) To encourage rooftops to be used for sustainability-related features; and

4) To set Green Plot Ratio standards for private developments to safeguard sufficient density of greenery.
