NUS study leads to open spaces for community activities in Tampines blocks

A study by the Centre for Sustainable Asian Cities at NUS, NUS Dept of Sociology and HDB, on the impact of the built environment on community bonding has led HDB to prototype two community engagement strategies. The study found that facilities in HDB towns, offer opportunities for neighbours to meet, and that residents who often use these amenities have a stronger sense of belonging and community.
