IN SINGAPORE, land gets constantly re-purposed to meet evolving needs, including rising housing demand. Sites previously occupied by schools, golf courses, turf clubs and so forth may get re-purposed to build homes and other amenities.
New Housing and Development Board (HDB) flats will be built in prime areas such as the Greater Southern Waterfront and Bukit Timah.
Yet, despite Singapore’s land constraints, 39 areas are gazetted as Good Class Bungalow (GCB) Areas. Bin Tong Park, Dalvey Estate, Nassim Road, Queen Astrid Park, and Swiss Club Road are among them.
