Bedok town centre will be revitalized with a new hawker centre and town plaza, as well as an air-conditioned bus interchange connected to a shopping mall and condominium. A new integrated complex comprising a community club, sports facilities, library and polyclinic is also being planned.
In addition, Bedok will have new park connectors, cycling routes and walkways, while the new Downtown and Eastern Region MRT lines will bring about shorter journeys to the city.
Our towns are planned with a comprehensive range of facilities to meet the needs of current and future residents. These include housing, shops, schools, libraries, sports facilities, community clubs and parks – all important in ensuring a liveable, self-sufficient town. The facilities are carefully distributed across each town to ensure good accessibility, supported by an efficient transport network.
Most towns also have commercial nodes and other employment centres such as industrial estates and business parks within the town or nearby, to provide job opportunities close to homes. These facilities and employment centres will be developed according to demand. The detailed planning and implementation of plans for each town is a joint effort of many government agencies.
To provide more housing options for Singaporeans, the Bayshore area will be further opened up in stages. Adding new life to Bedok is the rejuvenation of Bedok town centre, which will have new facilities and upgraded amenities.
