Context
Why Housing Adaptation Matters in Singapore
By 2030, roughly one in four Singaporeans will be aged 65 or above. The vast majority — over 80% — live in HDB flats, many of which were built decades before accessible-design standards became routine. The gap between what those flats offer and what older bodies require is the central practical problem this site documents.
Singapore's response has been a layered set of government-supported modification schemes, community centre networks, and estate renewal efforts. Understanding how these overlap, who qualifies, and what the actual installation process involves takes time to piece together. The articles here consolidate that information in one place.
