Punggol vision one step closer

[An exercept from thesundaytimes, prepared by Marcus Lau, 16/08/2009]

The construction of Punggol Promengade began yesterday with a ground breaking ceremony. Punggol Promengade is a 16.7 million project which aims to transform the former backwater village in the north east into Singapore’s iconic suburban waterfront town. This project allows some of the residents to look out onto tranquil waters. Others can stroll along a sandy beach while enjoying the sea breeze. This 4.9km walk consists of playgrounds, fitness corners, fishing grounds, eateries and even a horse-riding school which will benefit the residents staying along the area. This project will be completed in 2011.

My thoughts: This shows that Singapore are on track on the process of urbanization and this may also be a tourist attraction in the future.
