Orchard Road , Singapore 's main shopping street, is 2.2 km ( 1.3 miles ) long but much of the activity takes place in the middle of the stretch.
Many of the older properties along the upper stretch will be redeveloped with incentives provided by the Urban Redevelopment Authority ( URA ), Singapore 's land planning agency.
The investments required will still be significant, likely running into the billions of dollars .
URA said it is keen on new developments that will inject new lifestyle or retail offerings, plug gaps in the planned pedestrian networks, or improve access to public areas like parks and waterways.
Tina Qiu , director of PLP Architecture , suggested constructing sheltered walkways along the Tanglin stretch to protect pedestrians from Singapore 's relentless heat, humidity, and frequent rain showers.
