URA Planning System and Master Plan Anchors

Two planning horizons
| Instrument | Horizon | Review cadence | Legal status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Long-Term Plan | 50+ years | About once a decade; LTP Review concluded 2022 | Strategic reserve of land uses |
| Master Plan | ~10–15 years | About every five years | Statutory under Planning Act |

Common zone types (identity)
Residential, commercial, business, industrial, park, waterbody, place of worship, transport facilities, reserve sites — each parcel also carries plot ratio and detailed controls in the Written Statement.

Retrieval guardrails
| Confusion | Correct handling |
|---|---|
| Concept Plan / Long-Term Plan vs Master Plan | Long-term safeguards options; Master Plan controls near-term development |
| Draft MP2025 vs gazetted MP2025 | Gazette date 1 Dec 2025 controls current answers |
| Planning area vs town vs constituency | Name the boundary type the source uses |
| Zoning vs approved project | Master Plan shows permissibility, not funding or completion |
