Geography System Anchors
Parent-scale SingStat/URA anchors for Singapore as a city-state geography — land area with High Water Mark caveat, main-island extent, and planning ownership pointers — without planning-area inventories.
Geography System Anchors
Narrative: geography system overview. Detailed relief and island tables: physical geography anchors. Headline land area also in key statistics. Land area changes with reclamation and survey vintage — always quote the as-of date and boundary basis.
National scale
| Anchor | Value | As-of / note |
|---|---|---|
| Land area | 744.3 km² | Dec 2025; SingStat Environment; 2.515 m High Water Mark cadastral boundary (preliminary when first released) |
| Main island length (E–W) | About 49 km | SingStat environment reference |
| Main island width (N–S) | About 28 km | SingStat environment reference |
| Latitude / longitude extent | 1°09′–1°29′ N, 103°36′–104°25′ E | Main island extent |
Planning ownership (identity only)
| Anchor | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Statutory land-use plan | URA Master Plan | Long-term land-use and intensity; not a transport timetable |
| Physical geography vs planning areas | Distinct series | Do not treat a planning-area name as a cadastral land-area denominator |
