""Housing a Nation"" - Tour Description
Home is where the heart is. For many of us, we’ve never had to worry about having a roof over our heads, and for others still, property has even become a huge source of investments and income. How far we have come from the days where Singapore faced massive housing shortage and living conditions were poor and dilapidated.
Witness the remarkable evolution of housing in Singapore on this tour. Journey through iconic neighborhoods, explore innovative housing developments, and delve into the heart of Singaporean living. This tour isn't just about walls and roofs; it is a narrative of resilience, adaptability, and the collective spirit that has shaped Singapore's housing landscape! Discover the stories behind our homes, understand the visionary planning, and appreciate the diversity of housing options that contribute to Singapore's social identity. "
