YISHUN
Best described as a family-
oriented town, Yishun provides a
comprehensive suite of amenities
for all ages. Over the next 5 years,
Yishun will be reinvigorated with
new malls, hawker centres and
cycling paths while the transport
infrastructure will be enhanced to
improve connectivity for residents.
How towns are planned
Yishun 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.
