Knight Frank Singapore has released The Quality of Life Report: Building a Liveable City 2025, a comprehensive study conducted with Ipsos, revealing the evolving aspirations of Singaporeans in terms of living, working, and leisure. The study surveyed 1,000 residents, highlighting concerns such as home affordability, with 43% of those aged 25 to 34 expressing worry about buying a home in the next three to five years.
The report aligns with the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s “Live, Work, Play” framework, examining how Singapore’s built environment can support these aspirations. Key findings show that work-life balance is prioritised by 79% of respondents over compensation and benefits. Additionally, dining out and travel emerged as top leisure activities, preferred by 66% and 64% of participants, respectively.
Alice Tan, Head of Consultancy at Knight Frank Singapore, emphasised the importance of considering the built environment’s impact on quality of life in urban planning. The report’s insights aim to influence real estate development, ensuring spaces are economically viable and socially resilient.
The findings will be discussed at an exclusive event featuring panel discussions with experts from various sectors. Galven Tan, CEO of Knight Frank Singapore, expressed hope that the report will inspire changes in how homes, offices, and community spaces are designed to meet contemporary demands. The report is available for download, offering a detailed look at the future of urban living in Singapore.
