Building towns that foster community relationships

To encourage stronger community ties, plans look at mixing different housing types and shared spaces, so residents of all backgrounds can interact and connect more easily.

Last updated on 17 April 2026

We will study ways to better intersperse different housing types, such as public and private homes, rental and owner-occupied homes, as well as homes of different typologies, within our housing estates.

Community facilities that cater to different population segments, such as playgrounds and elderly facilities, can also potentially be sited together to promote greater interaction between different generations. We will also plan for publicly accessible communal spaces throughout our towns and city.
