Singapore City Gallery, Urban planning museum in Downtown Core, Singapore
The Singapore City Gallery is a museum in downtown Singapore dedicated to urban development and architectural planning. The space contains models, drawings, and documents that explain how the city was built and how it functions today.
The museum was founded in the late 1990s to document Singapore's transformation from a trading port to a modern city. It has been updated and expanded several times to show more about the different phases of urban planning.
The exhibits reveal how Singapore views itself as a carefully designed city where every element serves a purpose in the larger plan. Visitors see how urban design shapes the daily experience of living and moving through the city.
The museum is located near public transport and is easy to reach from different parts of the city. Visitors should allow time to explore the different exhibition areas at a comfortable pace and examine the models closely.
A large-scale model of central Singapore allows visitors to understand urban planning from multiple viewpoints. People can see how individual buildings and streets connect and what thinking went into their arrangement.
