Highlights
As the population of Singapore grew, there was a housing shortage. And the government had to build and relocate people from slums and squatter living conditions to new high-rise apartments, known as HDB flats. On this tour, learn about Singapore’s first homes. What did they look like, and what is the story behind buildings like shophouses? Why the shift from shophouses to apartments? And how did housing transform the fortune of a nation?
