DESCRIPTION
Were the town planners in Singapore inspired by MC Escher when they designed the town of Toa Payoh back in the 1960s? I doubt they were, but one will never know.

Millions of Singaporeans live in government-built apartments within these blocks of "HDB flats". (HDB, or Housing Development Board of Singapore, is the government department that build and manage these apartments.)

"HDB flats" has become a symbol of Singapore, loved by their inhabitants and providing a blueprint to many other countries in the world for the development of their own public housing. These "public housing" estates in Singapore are safe, clean and often spacious and well constructed internally - a far cry from the slums or ghettos associated with "public housing" in other countries.
AUTHOR
Based in the sunny and humid tropical island of Singapore, I am an amateur photographer with interest in urban landscape photography.
