Summary
The green plot ratio measures the density of greenery
within a development, per the Urban Redevelopment
Authority. Oasia Hotel Downtown has a green plot
ratio of 1,100%, meaning the plants on the building
can cover more than 10 times the amount greenery
lost because of the hotel's construction, per the
factsheet. Rather than reducing the amount of
greenery in the city, the construction of the building
ends up adding to it instead.
