Project Motivation

While we were doing our initial research, we found out that the Jurong West planning area was originally filled with swamps and jungles in the 1960s, before the government developed the area into an industrial estate with low-cost housing for workers. In the 1970s, Jurong West further developed with the formation of residential and commercial estates such as Boon Lay, Taman Jurong, and Hong Kah. In 1984, HDB began to expand further by adding Pioneer and other neighbouring towns. Today, Jurong West continues to evolve with the upcoming Jurong Lake District that will transform the planning area into an attractive location to live, work and play. Being an area where there is always continuous change and development, we were naturally attracted and interested to find out how land use has changed recently, and how we could further improve Jurong West amidst the continuous development.
