Singapore's Housing
Past, Present and future
Singapore's housing in the past
During the interview, we asked the residents whether there was any facilities were special to them and why was it special to them. Their responses was that during the past, many of the residents felt that the market place was very special to them and it has been there from then until now. Many residents met each other there and used to chat with one another .There was also an aeroplane-like structure in one of the buildings which is unique around the area. However, the buildings there are low, 4-storey buildings unlike the current HDB flats which are more than 10 storeys high.
We also asked if there was any facilities that should be included and how has the government helped in making the estate more inclusive.Some things that were pointed out by the residents during the interview was that the market was very dark even during the noon when the sun was out. They also felt that despite the negative point, the government has done its part to upgrade their flats over the years, for example , the upgrading of lifts and a safer place to stay.
