Architecture Intern

The Urban Design East (UDE) Department in URA shapes the planning and urban design strategies for key growth areas, strategic corridors, identity nodes, and significant development projects within and outside the Central Area in the East Region. We leverage digital tools to simulate, test, and evaluate various urban development scenarios, enabling us to formulate context-sensitive guidelines that incorporate environmental considerations. Our goal is to create vibrant, sustainable, and well-connected live-work-play environments. Additionally, we undertake targeted research in critical areas such as sustainability, urban heat island mitigation, and pedestrian comfort, ensuring our urban design plans remain robust and relevant. Our dedicated team also leads URA’s efforts in designing and activating delightful public spaces that enhance community identity and livability. This opportunity is under UDE.
