Mixed Landuse + High Density Usage PEEs


Mixed Land Use


This source shows the mixed land use in an Orchard road shopping mall. This is shown by the many different types of shops in the building such as cafes, sports shops and clothing shops. As many different shops are placed together, it reduces the travel time and costs between users and produces.  This means that instead of having to go to one place with one purpose, the building has many shops to serve many purposes at the same time.


This source shows mixed land use in a shopping mall. This is shown by the section of the mall selling bags at the left while a restaurant is on the right. This is convenient for the users and helps them maximize their visit to the mall. By combining two different shops, it also reduces long-term maintenance costs of individual buildings. The land is used more efficiently and this also reduces traffic congestion and energy consumption for transportation.






High Density Land Use

This source shows the high density land use in Orchard Road. This is shown by the building with many levels that contains different shops and people. By building it tall, it is commercially viable rather than adding a few levels across many buildings. It reduces transport time and costs for producer to consumer. It reduces land take while allowing more economic activity to take place on a fixed piece of land. It also allows consumer to have access to larger markets of suppliers as well as more consumers for suppliers.

Escalators are used to transport the customers to the higher level of the building. This means that the building is built tall instead of expanding the building sideways to accommodate more demand of shops. It is a solution to the rising demand and intensive competition for land. By doing so it maximizes existing land use and reduced the area of land used.
