6. Urban designers & Urban planners
Urban design deals with the large-scale organization and design of the city, with the massing and organisation of buildings and the space between them, but not with the design of the individual buildings.
 The site has been already been allocated as part of the larger planning process
Key areas: Singapore River,
Orchard Road shopping corridor, Marina Bay
