LIVINGSPACE – HDB’s refreshed visitors’ gallery has re-opened its doors after a year-long renovation! The gallery showcases HDB’s latest housing initiatives and bold planning ideas to provide affordable homes in a quality living environment.

Capturing nearly six decades of Singapore’s housing journey, the revamped HDB gallery tells the HDB story through an immersive, multi-media experience. Visitors can walk through distinctively themed spaces to discover how our towns are planned and designed, and get up close and personal with the cutting-edge urban innovations and sustainability solutions that have helped improve the living environment for our residents.

Some of the highlights include:
