PART 1:Brunei's largest Urban Development Plan to date... What do we know about it?

Greetings readers,

As you know the blog is all about sharing the journey of urban development and planning of our beloved nation-Brunei Darussalam. The governing authorities of Brunei Darussalam is in for something BIG, we're talking about The Bandar Seri Begawan aka BSB Masterplan-the latest urban development that is also considered as the largest, thorough, comprehensive and diverse government plan to date.

BUT unfortunately, when we ask around about what do they think of the plan, some don't really understand what the plan is all about, some couldn't care less about it while some don't even know that there is A PLAN. Such lack of awareness among members of the public is increasingly worrying. Why you may ask? Because it could potentially be a factor that would hinder effective implementation of the masterplan throughout the future.

The BSB Masterplan is made by the public for the public. The governing authorities have conducted various measures to encourage participation from the public and informed the public about the masterplan. Therefore, it is important to understand that everybody needs to be informed what the BSB Masterplan is all about as eventually everyone will be affected.

Hence, this blog is created to serve the public's knowledge, to help "put things in simpler perspectives", so that the knowledge could be made understand and share among public of different expertise, different backgrounds and different age groups.
So to make sure that all of us are in the same page, lets get back to basic...
I'll share with you what I know about the BSB Masterplan in "the simplest terms" in the next post...
