Singapore Chronicles: Public Housing


PART OF Singapore Chronicles SERIES
Publisher: Straits Times Press
S$14.95
  • The story of public housing in Singapore is a unique one. This book chronicles the journey from the early days of prevalent unhygienic slums and crowded squatter settlements to the current landscape where over 80 per cent of the resident population is housed in quality flats spread across the island. Of these, about nine in 10 households own the flats they live in. Central to this story is the Housing and Development Board (HDB), which was established on 1 February 1960 and has since built more than one million flats in the last 58 years. HDB remains committed to its mission of providing affordable homes, creating vibrant and sustainable towns, and promoting the building of active and cohesive communities.
