Outdoor recreation space is a key aspect of healthy neighbourhood design. This project aims to develop a holistic understanding of Singaporeans’ lived experiences of outdoor recreation space to identify the when, who, where, how, why of outdoor recreation. The study utilises mixed methods  including  sensor measurement and spatio-temporal analytics of outdoor recreation space preferences and needs for outdoor recreation space planning and design in post-COVID19 Singapore.
