Jury comment

Empress Place and Esplanade Park has delivered verdant waterfront parklands in a prominent civic node in Singapore. Its welcoming landscapes, memorable avenues and generous pathways provide a safe, pedestrian-friendly environment and a vibrant place for promenading, celebrations, recreation, meeting friends, people-watching and relaxing under the shade of trees, as well as night-time activation. The work is thoughtfully and beautifully detailed and executed, and it provides another exemplar chapter in the landscape investment for a green Singapore.
