It takes good planning and governance to make smart cities work. A framework that is respectful of cities’ development context and goals, and highlights the necessary urban systems and enablers to achieve these goals, can offer valuable guidance to cities at varying stages of development.
Planning in a Data-Informed way:
ePlanner (Geospatial Urban Planning Portal)
One-stop multi-platform planning portal for planners
• Integrate various datasets (development, demographics, real-time flow, ground-sensing)
• Simplify GIS and data analytics

Planning in a Data-Informed way: e.g. accessibility to parks by 2030
Reducing flood prone areas

Planning in a Data-Informed way:
Flood monitoring
Water Level Sensors
• 171 water level sensors around the island to monitor real-time site conditions of drains and canals
• SMS alert system on rising/receding water levels is available for public subscription
CCTVs
• Network of CCTVs in major drains and canals to facilitate monitoring of drain condition
• 150 CCTVs installed at flood-prone or low-lying areas to enable real-time monitoring of road conditions
• 49 CCTVs with images currently available for public viewing
Timely Updates to the Public During Heavy Rain
• Flood alerts and updates to the public are available at PUB’s Facebook page, Twitter and mobile app “MyWaters”

TraceTogether: Community-driven contact tracing app
• Cities are only smart and can recover well when technologies meet the citizens’ needs
• Strong network of public-private-people (3Ps) partnership is crucial
SafeEntry: National digital check-in system for contact tracing
OneService App for efficient municipal maintenance
• Integrated feedback management and customer service channel for municipal services
• Improves processes to manage and address public feedback on municipal issues
