Tampines is a bustling residential town with significant potential for development. It is one of the largest and the third most populated town in Singapore. According to URA Master Plan 2014, further developments have already been planned for Tampines North (figure 1). In 2017, a key development – Our Tampines Hub [1], Singapore’s first integrated community and lifestyle hub was established. Several other construction projects highlighted in the master plan are still well underway.
 As the regional centre [2], it is essential for Tampines to be a self-sufficient town that is able to provide a good balance of commercial and communal facilities for residents in the East. This is in line with Singapore’s urban planning policy to alleviate traffic congestion and gridlock situations heading towards the central business district. Therefore, we are interested to find out the development of Tampines over the years and whether Tampines as a regional centre has adequate facilities to meet the needs of the large population residing in the East, then recommend changes accordingly. The main objectives of our project are:
