one-north is a Singapore business park developed by JTC Corporation for the R&D and high technology cluster, comprising biomedical sciences, infocomm technology (ICT) and media industries. Though the development was first conceptualised in the National Technology Plan 1991,〔NSTB, (1991) Science and Technology:Window of Opportunities – National Technology Plan 1991. Singapore: SNP Publishers.〕 it was only launched officially in 2001 by former Deputy Prime Minister Tony Tan Keng Yam with the basis of creating a "global talent hub" and a knowledge-based economy.〔Tan, T K Y, (4 December 2001). (Launch of Science Hub ), speech presented at MITA Building, Singapore.〕 one-north, which was master planned by Zaha Hadid Architects, is located at Buona Vista and near educational and research institutes like National University of Singapore (NUS), INSEAD, Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) and the Singapore Science Parks. In 2012, ESSEC Business School also set up its Asian campus in one-north, for a total investment of S$40 million.〔Channel NewsAsia – European business school ESSEC opens new campus in Singapore ()〕 The district has easy access to social and recreational facilities due to the close proximity to Holland Village. Besides being a "science hub" as Dr Tan described one-north at the launch, another aim is to create a community where expatriates and locals can gather to live, work and relax together in one-north.〔JTC Corporation, (2006). ().〕 As such, one-north will not be a government project only, but also one where private sectors contribute to provide the social and recreational amenities for the people working and living there. ==Biopolis== Biopolis is a biomedical R&D hub at one-north. It houses public research institutes and private research organisations. Biopolis Phase 1 is developed by JTC Corporation (JTC) at a cost of S$500 million. Phase 1 of the Biopolis comprises a cluster of seven buildings with a built-up area of 185,000 sqm (2 million sq ft). Phase 1 is home to more than 2,000 scientists, researchers, technicians and administrators. The research community is supported by infrastructure and services catering to biomedical R&D activities. Phase 2 of the Biopolis comprised two research buildings, with a built-up area of 37,000 sqm (400,000 sq ft). Phase 3 of Biopolis broke ground in April 2008. The research facility extends basic research activities into translational and clinical research as well as medical technology research. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「One North」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
