| Gardens by the Bay - one of the attractions at Marina Bay. |
-->
Marina Bay is a bay near Central Area in the southern part of Singapore,
and lies to the east of the Downtown Core. Marina Bay is set to be a 24/7
destination with endless opportunities for people to “explore new living and
lifestyle options, exchange new ideas and information for business, and be
entertained by rich leisure and cultural experiences”.[1]
It is here where the most innovative facilities and infrastructure such as the
underground “common services tunnel” are built and where mega activities take
place.
In 1970s, land reclamation was
carried out at Marina Bay, forming what is today the Marina Centre and Marina
South areas. In the reclamation process, Telok Ayer Basin was removed from the
map, while the Singapore River's mouth now flows into the bay instead of
directly into the sea. In 2008, Marina
Barrage was built, asin into a new downtown freshwater Marina Reservoir,
providing water supply, flood control and a new lifestyle attraction.
