This is a sketch of the HDB flats near the Hougang Mall. HDB flats has been implemented for over 40years and it has played an important role in the development of Singapore. In the early years, HDB flats wasbuilt and served as a low-cost housing for low-income Singaporeans to tackle the massive housing shortage inherited from the colonial government. It was later improved and set out to build communities in self-contained towns.
As the society continues to improve, houses that the younger generation no longer pursues for a mere basic shelter, but a quality housing and services in an environment that supports and enhances their lifestyle. Hence government has gone about meeting these expanding needs and aspirations by building condominiums, which caters for the high standards and harnessing technology and ingenuity for the demands.
Also, with the advance technology and decreasing birth rates in Singapore would means that the government would hire more workforce from overseas to keep up with the advancement of the technology. Thus, there would be a need to demolish old buildings to build more industrial buildings for the workers. Condominium development in business districts has also boomed in the recent years, increasing the size of urban neighborhood populations. For our generation, we are lucky that most of us get to attend school and receive education, compared to our past generations, we have a higher chance to find a well-paid job and afford to buy a house ourselves. Many could afford to buy a condominium and in order to keep up with the needs of a younger generation, these old blocks of HDB flats may be torn down and be replaced by the new rising blocks.
