Description

    -It is a historic industrial area. It is an industrial zone used by various companies. -Park Royal is being regenerated to provide improved streetscape and amenities for the employees working there. It would remain as a prominent industrial zone. Land Use -The major portion of the area will retain its industrial land use. The older areas have a concentration of small businesses. They would retain this fine-grained industrial network. -The older district with its fine-grained industrial network, would act as transitional zone between the industrial and residential areas of the district. -The central district is being developed as a mixed-use neighbourhood with housing and other amenities. -New housing is being proposed in the central areas. In some areas, mixed use buildings with first floor residences and active ground floors are being proposed. Industry -The industrial sites are being densified to provide additional industrial floorspace while maintaining affordability. -The existing historic buildings are being restored. Some buildings are being conserved for reuse. -In Old Park Royal, the older buildings are being conserved as they provide positive frontages in the streetscape. -The rooftops of industrial buildings are being used for urban farming. Waste generated by the local food manufacturing industry is being made into compost for the rooftop farms. Mobility -An effort is being made to reduce traffic by consolidating industrial operations. -Accessibility to public transport is being improved to reduce private cars of employees. Creation of Public Space -There are very few open spaces in the district. Some of the historic buildings are being conserved to be used for community facilities. -Greening of the streets is being undertaken to soften the streetscape and encourage soft mobility. -The town centre has proposed mixed-use buildings with active and positive frontages such as retail, employment and community facilities to create a lively neighbourhood. -The street walls of the industrial buildings would be greened and made more inviting through architectural details.
