Explore Tanjong Pagar's evolving landscape where lush urban greenery is seamlessly integrated with the precinct’s historic sites in this special edition tour!

Once the bustling heart of Singapore's transport and maritime trade, these beautifully conserved places now pulse with new life – each structure telling a fascinating tale of Singapore's journey from port town to global city.

Today, this historic district is pioneering Singapore's evolution into a City in Nature. Witness how sustainable urban planning has woven nature through our built heritage - from tree-lined streets to cascading vertical gardens. Learn how these green initiatives do more than just beautify the district – they create vital corridors, cool our city, and build a more liveable future for all.

About the Chinatown Heritage Walks

Thank you for your interest in joining the 'Stewarding Nature & Heritage in Tanjong Pagar' tour! This is part of our series of weekly walks to the four districts within the Chinatown Conservation Area.

A collaboration between the URA and Friends of the Museums (FOM), these two-hour walks are led by FOM docents. Besides learning about the rich history of Chinatown, you will also discover how our conservation efforts are an integral part of URA’s commitment to sustainable urban development, shaping the distinctive, liveable and endearing city we live in today.

Through these walks, you will also gain a better appreciation of the challenges in balancing different needs for land and the innovative solutions that we have adopted to overcome them, in tandem with URA's efforts to plan sustainably across our social, economic and environmental realms.
