SUBURBCITY

more: singapore
Suburbcity is a term I coined to describe the uniqueness of Singapore's urban structure.  The city / state's organization is so distinct from any city I've ever visited that a new term felt necessary.  Singapore has a city center that turns into sprawling suburbs...yet the suburbs do not remind me in any way of U.S. suburbs...the suburbs still have a city feel given the compactness, infrastructure, offerings, and ease of movement.  Thus I believe the best way to describe Singapore's outer areas are as Suburbcities.  Each weekend I will explore different areas to gain a thorough understanding of Singapore.

CENTRAL SOUTH
Tiong Bahru to Queenstown and down to Sentosa.

EAST COAST
From Kallang to Changi.

WEST
To Buono Vista and beyond!

Alexandra Village and Pinnacle at Duxton (below, also a public housing complex) show that apartments don't need to be boring.
