Abstract：Green, low-carbon, and high-quality development is an important measure to respond to the requirements of the
Report to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China to “accelerate the green transformation
of the development model”. Green, low-carbon, and livable towns are the main approach to achieve the “dual
carbon” goals. By sorting out the development history of new towns in Singapore, this article takes the Punggol
New Town, a representative of the fifth-generation new towns, as an example to study its green and low-carbon
planning and construction concepts and technologies. Through the perspectives of green units, green buildings,
green ecology, and green technology, this article analyzes Singapore’s path to build a new town that applies green
and low-carbon planning methods, a new town that is livable and friendly for business, and a new town that
considers the cutting-edge technology and art. This article provides insights for green and low-carbon cities, and
for the coordinated development of affordable housing, urban public transportation, and infrastructure construction
during the new period of our nation.
