To make Singapore even more of a Garden City, the Urban Redevelopment Authority has launched Landscaping for Urban Spaces and High-Rises (LUSH) so that developers can get additional gross floor area of up to 50 per cent of the roof area or 200 square metres if they provide more rooftop greenery.

And to encourage existing building owners in town to ‘green’ their roofs, the National Parks Board, from September, will fund half the installation costs of up to $75 per sqm of green roof.
