Singapore 16 - Outram Road, Tiong Bahru
In the 1960s, many of the buildings around Pearl's Hill and the old shophouses in Chinatown and along New Bridge Road were replaced by new developments. The Outram Prison area was redeveloped into Outram Park HDB estate in 1968, People's Park Centre was built on an old market also in 1968, and the "death houses" at Sago Lane were demolished and Kreta Ayer Complex built in 1975. These developments housed business areas on the ground floor with residential quarters on the upper floors. It was an extension of the traditional shophouse concept which made possible the combination of high-density residential cum commercial use. The traditional charms of Outram have continued to make it an interesting, vibrant and thriving centre of activity.
