Industry Insight: Why Japan’s gateway cities are attracting global investors

Artificial intelligence is starting to reshape the built environment — from how buildings are designed to how they are operated and maintained.

With Singapore pushing for greater use of AI, robotics and digital tools in the sector, what does this transformation actually look like in practice?

On Industry Insight, Lynlee Foo speaks with Alfred Fox, Chief Executive, Integrated Solutions, SJ Group about where AI is already delivering results across infrastructure and building operations.

Learn how technologies such as digital twins, predictive maintenance and AI-optimised energy systems are helping buildings run more efficiently, why data and digital infrastructure are becoming critical foundations for smarter cities, and how AI could change the way urban infrastructure is managed in the years ahead.

Industry Insight: How AI is transforming the built environment

Across industries today, companies are increasingly testing ideas in digital environments before anything is physically built.

Often called virtual twins, these digital models allow organisations to simulate products, factories and infrastructure systems, helping them identify potential issues earlier in the design process.

On Industry Insight, Lynlee Foo speaks with Sharon Toh, Vice President for Asia Pacific South at Dassault Systèmes, about why virtual twins are gaining momentum, how industries across Asia are adopting them, and what this shift could mean for the future of innovation.

Industry Insight: How virtual twins are changing the way industries innovate

Singapore’s industrial landscape is changing as developers rethink how space can support evolving industries in a land-scarce city.

On Industry Insight, Lynlee Foo speaks with Ronald Tay, CEO of CapitaLand Development (Singapore) about the broader strategy behind next-generation industrial developments.

Using the newly unveiled Gourmet Xchange in Kallang as a case study, they discuss how integrated industrial hubs are reshaping the food ecosystem, from production and logistics to consumer engagement, and why ownership models like strata-titled facilities, sustainability standards and mixed-use concepts may play a growing role in the future of industrial real estate in Singapore.
