In Hong Kong, forget about revitalization — even preserving Hong Kong-style culture is a challenge. Maybe we should take a page from our neighbor Singapore, which is well-known for its environmental protection and excellent green infrastructure, and now has a new plan in the works.
This project, titled “The Rail Corridor,” primarily includes greening initiatives, walking trails, and surrounding developments. The aim is to integrate the local landscape and streetscape, including former railway stations, rather than building an entirely new park from scratch.
The walking trail will start at Tanjong Pagar Railway Station and end at Bukit Timah Railway Station, spanning a total of 24 kilometers. The plan will be led by Japanese designer Nikken Sekkei, in collaboration with Tierra.
In fact, as early as February 20 (the second day of the Lunar New Year holiday), Tanjong Pagar Railway Station was opened to the public for visits, allowing people to admire this architecturally significant and historic building. It will also be open to visitors on every subsequent public holiday, welcoming everyone to come and take photos. Opening hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
