Statutory Overview & Urban Master Plan Framework
Jurong East is a major commercial and transport hub in western Singapore and a key component of the wider Jurong Lake District. URA currently describes Jurong Lake District as Singapore's largest mixed-use business district outside the city centre and a key pillar of Singapore's decentralisation strategy. Jurong East MRT Station is an existing interchange for the East-West and North-South lines, while the Jurong Region Line will add a third interchange service at Jurong East through future station JE5 in Stage 2, targeted for 2028. The area is anchored by major retail destinations including JEM, Westgate and IMM, alongside Ng Teng Fong General Hospital, Jurong Community Hospital, Science Centre Singapore and access to Jurong Lake Gardens.
