Land management through land use planning is important so as to maximise existing land use.
In mixed land used different activities are carried together in the old city centre. In Singapore, commercial activities occupy the ground floors and residential flats occupy the upper floors.
In cities, buildings are built close together to house more residential flats and offices. Hence, the density of buildings in the central business district is high. Singapore make the best use of existing urban land supply by building skyscrapers and mixed land use.
Advantages of this method are:- High buildings provide extra space for housing offices and recreation.
- People can enjoy the convenience of a variety of activities.
- Scarce land is free up for other purposes such as military and reservoirs.
Disadvantage of this method is :
- Traffice congestion, crowded environment and high noise level
