| Annotation | Singapore's achievement in creating affordable homes for most of its population is notable, but the predicted increase in the number of older people has to be taken seriously in future planning. Whereas the multi-generation extended family has always been the cornerstone of housing policy in south-east Asia, future generations will see some changes to this pattern. The need for a wide range of more specialised forms of housing and care for the aged is currently under discussion. This article outlines a number of initiatives to provide for these needs, and discusses how problems in both new and upgraded housing are being tackled. (RH). |
