List of places in Singapore explained

This is a list of places in Singapore based on the planning areas and their constituent subzones as designated by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA).

Based on the latest URA Master Plan in 2019, the country is divided into 5 regions, which are further subdivided into 55 planning areas, and finally subdivided into a total of 332 subzones.[1]

Both planning areas and subzones are listed below in alphabetical order. Population data is accurate as of June 2018,[2] which does not necessarily reflect the same boundaries as in the 2019 Master Plan. Additionally, the figures include citizens and permanent residents but do not include the approximately 1.6 million non-permanent residents of Singapore.

Central Region

The Central Region of Singapore is made up of 22 planning areas, of which 10 form the Central Area. The region comprises 135 subzones in total. Planning areas that are part of the Central Area are italicised.
