The Singapore River precinct, with three distinctive quays – Boat Quay, Clarke Quay and Robertson Quay – is the historic heart of the city and the foundation upon which Singapore has been built.

Its diverse offerings and welcoming ambience are a draw for both locals and visitors. Its preservation and continued vitality are important for reasons both economic and cultural.

Singapore River has always played a pivotal role in Singapore’s Development and was its main commercial lifeline.
Today, Singapore River has been transformed from a working waterway to an attractive waterfront environment for housing, recreation, entertainment and commercial new developments have generated renewed activity, while conserved buildings lend charm and preserve the memory of the river’s past. Under URA’s supervision, the river continues to be developed with a mix of residential and commercial uses, while standing poised for another chapter in its long and colourful history.
