Each HDB town tells its own story through its history, physical environment, and communities, creating a distinct identity that residents are proud to call home.

As our towns develop, we strive to strengthen their unique identity and preserve their distinctive local flavour. As the master planner, HDB publishes Town Design Guides that document each town's vision, planning and design principles.

The guides serve as useful references for our partners, including the Town Councils, designers and other agencies, who also play a part in building and rejuvenating our towns. Check out the completed guides below:
