URBAN DESIGN GUIDELINES

For example: Singapore URA, revisions to Outdoor Kiosks and Outdoor Refreshments area (ORA) guidelines for Orchard planning area.

a) Outdoor kiosks and ORAs are encouraged along the streets, courtyards and open spaces that form   an extension of the pedestrian networks.
b) Only food and drinks are allowed for sale in outdoor kiosks and not for the retail of convenient items. To complement the shopping experience along Orchard Road hence the encouragement of outdoor kiosks.
