新加坡与印尼南苏拉威西省望加锡市分享城市、交通及基础设施规划经验
The Singapore Cooperation Enterprise (SCE) and Temasek Foundation, Singapore (TF) today announced a training partnership with the Makassar City Government, Indonesia to share Singapore’s experience in urban, transportation and infrastructure planning.
An Agreement was signed today in Makassar between Mr. H. Ibrahim Saleh, Secretary of Makassar City Government and Mr. Kong Wy Mun, Chief Executive Officer from Singapore Cooperation Enterprise. It was witnessed by Dr. H. Syahrul Yasin Limpo, Governor of South Sulawesi, Mr. Pak Danny Pomanto, Mayor of Makassar City and a senior representative from Temasek Foundation. The programme will be supported by Temasek Foundation with a grant amount of SGD $587,840 and co-funded by the Makassar City Government with an amount of SGD $248,750.
Makassar City, spreading over 176 sq km, has a population of 1.3 million. Constrained by limited land area, the Makassar City Government (Pemerintah Kota Makassar) has set an objective to refine its current Master Plan and transform Makassar into a world class city in the near future. In 2012, Pak Danny Pomanto participated in the “Temasek Foundation Leaders in Urban Governance Programme” hosted in Singapore and had a broad overview of Singapore’s urban development model. Following that initial experience, the Makassar City Government mooted the idea of working in partnership with Temasek Foundation and SCE to provide an advisory and capacity building programme for the city’s officials to support its effort in developing an enhanced urban, transportation and infrastructure strategy for Makassar City.
SCE, as the lead agency, will aggregate relevant Singapore experts to share with the Makassar City government officials on Singapore’s integrated urban development experiences, specifically in areas related to urban planning, housing, landscape planning, transportation, reclamation and infrastructure planning.
The 18-month programme, which will consist of a series of capacity building workshops, will commence in 3 September 2014. It is envisaged that at the end of the programme, the Makassar City officials will be able to apply their new knowledge to develop and customise effective solutions for the Integrated Master Plan in Makassar City.
Mr. Kong Wy Mun, Chief Executive Officer of SCE said,
“We are happy to have the strong support of Temasek Foundation in sharing Singapore’s experience in urban, transport and infrastructure planning with the Government of Makassar City. We hope that through this programme, our Singapore experience can help to facilitate the Makassar City Government towards achieving success in their Integrated Master Plan vision. We also seek to deepen our relationship with Indonesia and look forward to more cooperation opportunities.”
“This initiative marks the first urban management capability building programme that Temasek Foundation is working in partnership with the Makassar City Government. With this programme, the local city planning officials will learn new models and frameworks to enhance urban management strategies to support Makassar City’s growth as a key economic and trading hub in eastern Indonesia,”
said Mr Benedict Cheong, Chief Executive Officer of Temasek Foundation, Singapore.
