New flats and new role for Dakota Crescent estate
Singapore
ONE of Singapore's oldest public housing estates, Dakota Crescent, will receive a new lease of life when new public flats are built there, but parts of the historic estate will be retained, Minister for National Development Lawrence Wong said yesterday.
In a Facebook post, he said that the central cluster of buildings around the courtyard area, including the iconic dove playground, will be kept and repurposed for civic and community uses.
