singapore: housing distribution housing development board research and planning department estimated resident population in singapore estimated resident population living in HDB flats > 85%
singapore: housing distribution the choice, right from the beginning, has been to maximise the amount of square meters (which usually cannot be altered once the building is finished), while minimising the finishing and fixtures (which can be added later). as a result, today the concept, initially thought as strategy to provide as many units as possible, can be seen as an up to date model of customisable space, encouraged by the system of ownership instead of rent. flats change owners often. similarly to a discarded car or tool, they become second hand. their price will be valued according to the basic estimation of hdb. on top of that in the moment of selling the owner is free to add as much as he thinks the renovation he carried out on the flat is worth, and the buyer will negotiate accordingly. the new owner will consider further renovation, in a continuous reconfiguration process. > 85%

singapore: housing distribution the fundamental conditions to fulfil is being singaporean and married, or, alternatively, being single, but older than 35 years. the size of the apartment is left to the buyer choice and possibilities, and is not, for example, function of the family size. it is a very effective political tool, a singapore-style incentive for people to marry and create a family. family in singapore is not only the cellular family: if a couple decides to purchase a flat within a 1000 meters distance from the flat of either of their parents, they will obtain a discount up to 25% of the value. a system of subsidised loans is available, through the central provident fund, covering the estimated base value of the flat. while responding to the needs of most of the population, it is based on a socially useful set of buyers qualifications and life-stories, shut to homosexuals, younger people not wishing to marry, divorcees. it is a social engineering scenario where what is thought as the need of the collective comes before the individual. > 85%

out of 100 people living in singapore today, 74 are singaporean, 7 are permanent residents, 19 are non-resident. in the last ten years the growth rate has been the highest since independence, almost half of it is due to the contribution of foreign workers, students and other foreigners that do no hold a permanent residence visa. the growth today is controlled at the, through immigration rules and incentives directed to attract an educated working force. in terms of planning it is a project of voids and long term timing, based on the capacity of anticipation. > population growth over 40 years

zaha hadid architects one-north masterplan singapore, 2001- zaha hadid architects in the recent years singapore has discovered that in order to maintain its economical success into the next phase, it has to re-enter into the equation the values of culture, free imagination, art, and creativity. in the knowledge-based economy the main ingredient is the individual initiative and independent thinking. in singapore individual and independent is a matter of national security, because it implies rethinking the whole system of top down, efficiency based control, as individual rights and creativity need to be given enough space. it is a paradoxical situation where the system recognises its need to loose control in order to keep control. > s u r v i v a l
