CPG Corporation Honors the Cityscape of Singapore's 188-year History [Real Estate]
Since the first Public Works Office was founded in 1833, Singapore's public works scene has evolved, supporting the city's urban design and transforming the island into the famed "Garden City." CPG Corporation (CPG), which was established on the foundation of its 188-year heritage and is the corporatised organization of the erstwhile Public Works Department of Singapore, is celebrating its journey in the built environment sector by publishing a commemorative book with the working title "CPG 188."
The President and Group Chief Executive Officer of CPG, Ar, stated that "the changing global environment is a catalyst for cities to be more versatile and adaptable." CPG has actively contributed to the Singapore urban landscape for the past 188 years. "Our experience accumulated from this journey can inspire others in the built environment to create sustainable developments that work responsibly with the environment," Ar said. Sin Khoon Khew
"CPG 188" highlights significant and noteworthy projects the company has completed while revealing startlingly fresh perspectives on some of its difficulties and particular circumstances. The book describes how CPG's diverse teams overcame challenges to construct some of the most recognizable projects in Singapore and abroad, especially in the past two decades when the business transferred its know-how to important Asian cities.
These initiatives have demonstrated that they are not only solutions for society, but also timely. For instance, CPG Consultants Pte. developed the National Centre for Infectious Diseases. Ltd. (a CPG subsidiary) made a substantial contribution to the country's fight against the pandemic and improved the system's resilience.
Singapore and other international cities are now developing to keep up with a world that is changing quickly. Numerous changes, ranging from the development of digital technology to the most recent pandemic, have had a significant influence on how people live and work and how they move around, posing cities with difficulties never before seen.
With a 188-year history, CPG's broad and extensive expertise allows it to remain relevant and spot chances in meeting the demand for a more sustainable kind of growth brought on by urbanization and the world's rising population. The seasoned corporation in the built environment thinks that the solution rests in developing better and more flexible cities and incorporates resilience, sustainability, and technology into its design philosophy and initiatives.
The Bidadari Park, which is expected to be finished in 2022, is one of its ongoing initiatives to create a more climate-resilient urban environment. Alkaff Lake, a reservoir that stores and provides drinking water to the nearby residential development, and an underground stormwater retention tank have been integrated by the company using its cross-disciplinary competencies. The island's City-East Coast region, which is home to crucial infrastructure including Changi Airport, a water reclamation plant, and the upcoming Greater Southern Waterfront development, will also have CPG chosen in 2021 to build a climate-resilient masterplan.
We fully believe in taking a collaborative and transdisciplinary approach to co-developing solutions because many urban and built environment difficulties are complex and interconnected with layers of economic, social, and environmental issues. According to Ar, we view CPG as the built environment integrator of such solutions. CPG's Group Chief Innovation Officer, Tan Shao Yen.
