FUTURE CITY PROGRAMME

A programme to develop young talents for Future City projects in Singapore and the region

About

Academia, Industry and Government come together to curate learning journeys, create internship opportunities, and identify mentors for our young people. Fascinating engineering and design opportunities are expected in the next decade as we move from building housing to building communities; from providing basic utilities to adapting utility infrastructure for climate change; from producing fossil power to generating green energy; and from focusing on quality of infrastructure to quality of urban life.
