However, that may soon changed, as the city-state prepares to unveil an Underground Master Plan in 2019. Singapore has been reclaiming land for decades, but that is increasingly unsustainable due of rising sea levels and other impacts of climate change. So the city is going underground. Singapore has already moved some infrastructure and utilities below ground, including train lines, retail, pedestrian walkways, a five-lane highway, air-conditioning cooling pipes, fuel and ammunition. "Given Singapore's limited land, we need to make better use of our surface land and systematically consider how to taps our underground space for future needs,” said Ler Seng ‘Ann, a group director at the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA). "Currently, our focus is on using underground space for utility, transport, storage and industrial facilities to free up surface land for housing, offices, community uses and greenery, to enhance liveability,” he said. The Underground Master Plan will featuring pilot areas, with ideas including data centres, utility plants, bus depots, a deep-tunnel sewerage system, warehousing and water reservoirs. There are no plans to move homes or offices below ground. Singapore joins a handful of cities that are mapping their subterranean space, said Peter Stones, a senior engineer with the consultancy Arup, who did a study for URA comparing its use of underground space to other cities. Arup's study found Singapore's underground rail density is slightly behind Tokyo's, and that it has the lowest density for underground pedestrian links. The study also found Singapore trailed Hong Kong and Tokyo in underground road density as of 2014. and claustrophobia of underground spaces, he said. But since bu generally more expensive and complex than on the surface, Singapore will only do so "where it is meaningful and practical", URA's Ler said. "In many cases, it does make sense to build underground, considering benefits such as land saving, improving the quality of the environment and better connectivity,” he said. "Our underground MRT (mass rapid transit) network and expressways in the city area are some examples where the benefits of going underground outweighs the higher construction cost and technical challenges." Storing fuel in rock caverns has free up more than 60 hectares, or 84 football fields, of space. The city's reservoirs occupy about 5 percent of Singapore's land, so moving them 20 25 30 This question paper consists of 7 questions on 6 printed pages. 6 UJLL1053 ENGLISH GRAMMAR IN CONTEXT underground could create more space. By 2050, more than 70 percent of the world's population will live in cities, according to United Nations estimates. In developing countries, which most of this growth will take place, it will strain infrastructure and resources, analysts say. But moving infrastructure and other facilities underground is often considered as a last resort only when surface space is exhausting and no other options exist, said Broere, a specialist in underground space technology. This will make it more expensive than it would be if the space above and below ground were developed simultaneously, he said. ‘Adapted from: yww.msn.com 24 Dec 2018 [Total: 10 marks} ‘TION C [TOTAL: 40 MARKS!
