A number of place-making measures will be adopted to form a unique UniTown vibe, such as developing an open and inclusive campus and neighbourhood, encouraging walking and cycling, and developing quality public spaces.
A “15-minute neighbourhood” concept will be adopted, whereby the use of green mobility between residential areas and key community resources will be encouraged. It would foster a neighbourhood that is pedestrian and bicycle-friendly, with low-carbon commuting, whilst promoting social cohesion.
The Riverside Park will be designed with blue-green infrastructure to reduce flood risks and enhance environmental sustainability; leisure and recreational uses will be integrated to create pleasant and engaging public spaces. The Riverside Park will also form a key pedestrian and cyclist transit corridor connecting the entire UniTown.
Smart, Green and Resilient features will be integrated in NTM, such as green transportation modes; incorporating smart city design elements; arranging recreational areas and breezeways according to prevailing wind directions; creating green communities; and introducing blue-green infrastructures.
