Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'Housing Development Board'

The Housing Development Board (HDB) is Singapore's public housing authority established in 1960 to address severe housing shortages and poor living conditions in the post-colonial period. This government agency transformed Singapore's landscape by developing affordable, high-quality public housing estates that now accommodate over 80% of the nation's population. HDB's comprehensive approach to urban planning has become a globally recognized model for public housing and remains central to Singapore's social and economic development policies.
