Introduction

Urban Ecological Corridors: Multifunctional Corridors for People and Ecology at the Singapore-ETH Centre seeks a highly motivated and dedicated Research Assistant to join an ongoing research project to conduct socio-spatial analyses of urban natureways in Singapore. The overarching aim of this project is to better understand the interactions between ecological elements and human activities in these areas to design strategies for a harmonious existence.

Project Background

The Urban Ecological Corridors: Multifunctional Corridors for People and Ecology is a research study under the URA’s Cities of Tomorrow grant, led by Singapore University of Technology and Design and co-led by Singapore-ETH Centre Future Cities Laboratory Global. Launched in 2017, the Cities of Tomorrow (CoT) R&D programme is MND’s flagship R&D programme to develop cutting-edge solutions for the Urban Solutions and Sustainability domain. This research aims to quantitatively assess the functioning of existing urban ecological corridors to enhance their effectiveness. Focusing on the interactions between ecological features and human activities, the study promotes the co-location of people and wildlife through safe, shared spaces. Using five key corridor elements—Park Connector Networks, Cycling Paths, Parks and Gardens, Nature Ways, and Forest Patches—as case studies, the research explores socio-ecological dynamics. It highlights both beneficial and adverse human-nature interactions, ultimately seeking to identify distinct interaction zones and recommend design strategies for fostering harmonious urban-ecological coexistence.
