Defending Our Home Walking Tour

Description of Programme

Step into the show units of HDB's 2-room, 3-room, 4-room and 5-room BTOs at Toa Payoh's HDB Hub and visualise what you can strive to own and live in as you make progress in your own lives, while learning about Singapore's housing transformation on a national scale from cramped and squalid conditions to a metropolis where about 80% live in modern flats built by the government. Next, we traverse Toa Payoh New Town on foot on our way to Balestier to uncover Singapore’s rich heritage and vanishing trades.
