Downtown Core, SingaporeSkyscrapers of the Downtown Core, Singapore (27 July 2017)


Downtown Core (GPS: 1.28669, 103.8535) is one of the 55 planning areas in Singapore. It is located within the Central Area, a sub-region of the Central Region. The Downtown Core encompasses the Central Business District of Singapore, covering an area of 266 hectares.

The planning area of Downtown Core is divided into 12 neighbourhoods called subzones. They are Anson, Bayfront, Bugis, Cecil, Central, City Hall, Clifford Pier, Marina Centre, Maxwell, Phillip, Raffles Place and Tanjong Pagar.

Much of the Downtown Core was built on reclaimed land. Land reclamation in the area began as early as the 19th century, when the coastline was extended out from Telok Ayer Street. As a result, the sea-facing Thian Hock Keng Temple was no longer facing the sea. Successive land reclamation created the Financial District within Shenton Way and Robinson Road as the main arteries.

Newer areas within the Downtown Core include Downtown Central and Bayfront. These reclaimed lands are being set apart to become full-fledged planning areas over time.

To fuel further economic growth in the post-independent decades, the coastline was extended out from Queen Elizabeth Walk, creating the man-made Marina Bay, which is surrounded by the reclaimed planning areas of Marina East, Marina South and Straits View. These are presently undergoing rapid urban development.
