OFFICE decentralisation, the policy to relocate commercial offices to regional areas outside the central business district (CBD), has long been a key long-term strategy of the government to support sustainable economic growth and bring jobs closer to homes.
Decentralisation efforts go as far back as 1991, when the authorities first proposed the development of regional, sub-regional and fringe commercial nodes beyond the CBD.
The “Constellation” concept was introduced, under which commercial centres would fan out to the heartlands, bringing jobs closer to homes and alleviating congestion in the city centre.
