Developing Gillman Barracks and Sunset Way: don’t mourn losing some green spaces

LOSING an unblocked view because a new block of flats is being built in front of one’s apartment. Having a favourite space taken away to make room for the building of new flats or seeing a building, which one has nostalgic memories of, undergo redevelopment. What about losing a chunk of scarce forest for property development?

Since independence, Singapore has been a city in constant transformation. Islandwide, spaces are being developed and redeveloped to meet changing live, work and play needs.
