Stories of Queenstown

Posted by noelbynature

At the Citizen Historian blog, Loh Kah Seng reviews the National Heritage Board-Housing Development Board of Singapore-Queenstown Citizen’s Consultative Committee collaborative book, 10 Stories: Queenstown Through The Years.


The subject-matter of 10-Stories is Queenstown New Town, Singapore’s pioneer suburb, which the Singapore Improvement Trust (SIT) – the de facto colonial housing authority – first began building in 1952 and was subsequently completed by the first generation of HDB architects. The book is written in a light style for the general reader, who will also find the numerous beautiful photographs of old and contemporary Queenstown useful.
