<br />From the 1930s onwards the Singapore Improvement Trust experimented with new housing patterns. With the new Republic after 1965, the thrust in public housing was a march towards modernity by eradication of traditional villages and the creation of modern living pattern to promote social and racial harmony. How can we understand the programme and what was its implication?
