Sustainable Development Goal 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities
Changemaker for Climate-Resilient Healthcare Infrastructure (Singapore)

Few leaders embody the convergence of architecture, sustainability strategy, and systems-level transformation as compellingly as Kee Wei Hui. With nearly two decades of experience across the built environment, public institutions, and investment advisory, she has emerged as one of Singapore’s foremost champions for climate-resilient, people-centric urban development. Her work advances Sustainable Development Goal 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities, strengthening the foundations of a more inclusive, healthier, and future-ready urban ecosystem.

As Head of the Sustainability Office at MOH Holdings, the holding company for Singapore’s public healthcare institutions, Kee Wei leads the strategic integration of sustainability across the nation’s healthcare infrastructure pipeline. She oversees the development of long-horizon decarbonisation roadmaps, circular-economy frameworks, and ESG governance systems that shape new hospitals, polyclinics, nursing homes, and community care facilities. Under her leadership, sustainability is not treated as an add-on — it is embedded as a core business driver that enhances patient well-being, operational resilience, and national resource stewardship.

Her earlier tenure at JLL further solidified her reputation as an industry thought leader. As Director and Development Advisory Lead for investor and technical advisory clients, she architected ESG-aligned strategies for sovereign wealth funds, real estate investors, and corporate owners. She championed decarbonisation pathways for brownfield assets, elevated ESG reporting and benchmarking standards, and delivered advisory solutions that balanced investment returns with climate responsibility. Her work consistently demonstrated that sustainable development, when led with strategic clarity, creates synergistic economic, environmental, and social value.

A registered architect trained in human-centric design, Kee Wei blends design empathy with analytical precision. A recipient of the Singapore Institute of Architects Gold Medal and the Board of Architects Medal, she brings a rare fusion of creativity, strategic foresight, and business discipline. Her professional credentials span ISSB Sustainability Disclosures, GRI Reporting, Harvard Sustainable Business Strategy, and advanced management training — reflecting her belief that sustainability leadership requires perpetual learning and interdisciplinary mastery.

Beyond her institutional roles, Kee Wei is an influential ecosystem builder. She contributes to national sustainability conversations through advisory positions with the Singapore Institute of Architects, Singapore Institute of Technology, Singapore Green Building Council, and Urban Land Institute. Her guidance helps shape policy, education, and design directions that equip future talent and institutions to navigate a rapidly evolving climate landscape.

Her ethos is anchored in a powerful conviction: sustainable cities are built on trust — trust in infrastructure, in governance, and in the communities they serve. In line with the United Nations’ 2025 theme, International Year of Peace and Trust, she champions the idea that sustainability is the modern architecture of peace. For her, a resilient city is a compassionate city: one where systems are designed to protect, uplift, and empower people equitably.

Through her leadership, Singapore’s healthcare and built-environment sectors are better equipped to address climate risks, embrace circularity, and deliver long-term societal value. Her work continues to influence how organisations plan, build, and operate responsibly — ensuring that sustainable development becomes both a strategic imperative and a collective social promise.

For her visionary leadership in shaping resilient, inclusive, and future-ready urban systems, Kee Wei Hui is recognized as a 2025 Icon of Change for Sustainable Cities and Communities.
