Home, Truly

For most, home is a sanctuary, a safe abode to retreat from the bustle of life. For the last six decades, this is what HDB has provided for millions of Singaporeans, helping them realise their dreams of owning a home. But the work never ends. As we mark our 60th anniversary, we are further refining homes for all to live better, even as it continues building for tomorrow. This publication is anchored on the Roadmap to Better Living in HDB Towns. Unveiled in 2011, the Roadmap has guided our efforts in developing towns for the last decade. This publication is available as a free e-book.

HDB Landscape Guide

This publication highlights important design principles and considerations in creating functional and beautiful landscapes in HDB estates, through a collection of guidelines, photographs, and drawings.   This guide is currently available only as a free e-book.

Green Living By The Waters

This publication documents the Punggol Waterfront Housing Design Competition and its 108 entries, offering a valuable platform for exchange of new ideas on housing design.   The Housing Design Competition was launched with the intention to gather fresh ideas for waterfront housing along the Punggol Waterway.
