Regions of Singapore
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The regions of Singapore are urban planning subdivisions demarcated by the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Singapore to aid in its planning efforts.[citation needed] Over time, however, these 5 regions have also been adopted by other governmental organizations in their administrative work, such as their usage in the census of 2000 by the Department of Statistics. The regions are further subdivided into 55 urban planning areas, which include two water catchment areas.[citation needed]
It should be noted that while utilized by some governmental organizations, these regions are not administrative subdivisions.[citation needed] For administrative purposes, Singapore is divided into 5 ever-changing districts and further divided into divisions governed by councils and headed by mayors. These subdivisions are incompatible with the regions subdivisions.[citation needed] The regions are fixed over time while the districts fluctuate with electoral redistricting.
- Central Region, Singapore
- East Region, Singapore
- North Region, Singapore (including Central Water Catchment)
- North-East Region, Singapore
