1980s - One A&W restaurant
1900s-2000s- Many stalls, one foodcourt
In the near future - Many shops, many residential units
2030 - Plot ratio increased to 80.0, thus 80 storeys fully maximized with multi storey carpark, no space wasted.
5 storeys of carpark, 10 storeys of commercial space, 65 storeys of residential units.
1 floor 20 units of 60sqm each, able to house 80pax per floor or 5200 pax for the residential units.
Add 40 shops per floor and you get 400 shops.
2060 - Underground space becomes all the range. Another 40 storeys being added underground.

I happened to have a chance to dine at the restaurant top floor of ion orchard (can't remember e name and which floor - I think 54?). When I looked around in orchard, river valley, tangling region, I noticed there are many empty pockets of land that are covered with big trees. My first impression was Singapore govt project 6 million population and town area does not seem that dense. However, when I am in sengkang and punggol, I get a complete opposite feeling.

bayfront mrt station is just about 400m away from the new downtown station and no one stays/lives there..so the feeling of richness and spacious & abundance is felt easily.
move to the north, of sengkang and punggol where there are walls after walls of concrete flats squeezing for a lone station..
so there is a valid reason why it is negative cov there
