Climate change is driving the need for sustainable and cooler building designs, especially in tropical Singapore, which is warming at twice the global average. 

Property developers like CapitaLand Group are adopting nature-based solutions to mitigate the urban heat island effect, reduce energy costs, and promote wellbeing. 

CapitaLand integrates biophilic design, blending natural elements to improve air quality, enhance ventilation, and create calming environments.

Projects like CapitaSpring, Jewel Changi Airport, and CapitaGreen showcase innovative designs that prioritise sustainability, wellbeing, and connection with nature. 

Collaborations with design partners and initiatives like CoolNUS and Cooling Singapore further advance these eco-conscious goals.
