Limited land, unlimited space: SLA's chief on why Singapore's lack of land does not equate to a lack of space in SingaporeAsk any Singaporean if they believe there is enough land space in Singapore, and the answer is likely to be no.

In a behind-the-scenes look at how SLA functions, Low describes the paradox of having "limited land, unlimited space", and explains how it pushes his team to continuously reimagine spaces in our little red dot.In a country where land is precious and scarce, we may be most familiar with SLA's role in being the custodian of Singapore's properties.

However, that is just one aspect of SLA's governance. In fact, there are three pillars that encompass SLA's functions: land and properties, regulatory, and geospatial. Once a secondary school, it now houses a childcare, an elderly care dialysis centre, as well as a plot for urban farming, creating opportunity for inter-generational interaction in a single place.
