| Résumé : | Among the newly independent nations in Southeast Asia in the post-war era. Singapore's housing development experience has been unique. Since the 1960s, its land space has been radically transformed into a modern cityscape comparable to any advanced western city. Modern urban public and private housing has 'revolutionised' and replaced the central city slums, and outlying rural areas with a comprehensive provision of infrastructure and services. Initially, public housing was introduced to tackle severe housing shortage as a political response to universal 'right to housing', and in support of the export-led industrialisation. It has thus served both as a key mechanism of 'nation-building', and as a social stabiliser attracting international and local capital investment that has generated high rates of economic growth. More than 80 percent of Singaporeans' are now owners of HDB high-rise apartments distributed extensively in self-contained new towns. |
