The world is changing rapidly, with millions of people moving to cities in search of a better life. This has led to crowded urban areas and challenges in providing enough housing due to limited land and financial constraints. Queenstown, being the pioneering satellite public housing (HDB) town in Singapore, has one of the highest proportions of elderly residents aged 65 and above. A significant portion of its population resides in smaller 2-room and 3-room flats. In the 2000s, as part of urban renewal initiatives, many young Singaporeans also gravitated towards this area.
