| Prefer to live near your parents in a mature town? A mix of public and private housing will be built in Choa Chu Kang, Bukit Batok, Bukit Panjang, Clementi, Jurong East and Jurong West. New homes with younger residents will also help revitalise these communities, while new facilities will make the towns even livelier. For your convenience, many of the new homes will be near MRT and LRT stations. |

| A new sports complex was opened at Jurong West in October 2007. Bukit Panjang will be the next to have its own sports complex. The new facility will be co-located with a community club in Bukit Panjang Park. This is another example of how various facilities and infrastructure can be co-located not just for greater convenience but also better use of land. |

| A series of measures will make trips to, from and within the West easier. For example, road improvements in Clementi, Jurong and Tuas will make for smoother, less congested travel even as the number of people living and working in the region increases. |
| |
| By 2015, there will be more MRT options. The new Downtown Line 2(DTL2) will connect Choa Chu Kang, Bukit Panjang and Bukit Batok to the city centre and Marina Bay. Instead of the current one hour, it will take only 40 minutes to get from Bukit Panjang to the city. There will also be new stations added to the existing East West Line to serve workers in the Tuas Industrial Estate. |
| |
| The land around Jurong East MRT station will be dedicated to high-density mixed use developments. Landscaped pedestrian linkways will connect the surrounding developments to each other, the MRT station and bus interchange. The result? A seamless and comfortable commuter experience. |
