3) Rooftop urban farming

According to CapitaLand, Funan will be home to "largest area set aside for urban agriculture in the CBD".

This will include a 5,300 sq ft urban farm and 6,900 sq ft edible yard.

TODAY reported that Edible Garden City will be operating the urban farm while also hosting workshops for the community.

4) Theatre performances

Funan will also be the new headquarters for theatre production company Wild Rice.

According to The Straits Times, the theatre company's new S$15 million site will feature a 360-seat theatre, a 60-seat studio, a rehearsal space, and offices.

Tickets for the first shows are at Funan are already on sale and can be purchased here.

5) Loads of advanced technology

The new Funan will feature all kinds of advanced technology.

ST reported that the mall's touch screen directory will feature a camera that scans the faces of shoppers, sorting them into profiles such as 'young male' or 'senior female'.

The shopper will then receive recommendations of stores that target that demographic.

Visitors can also look forward to hands-free shopping with the use of automated guided vehicles that will carry one's shopping for them.

The high-tech experience will be available to those driving as well, with Funan set to offer the option of "smart car parking".

Drivers will be able to reserve lots and locate their cars with an app.

Shoppers can also use the same app to book the various facilities and events in Funan.
