#TalkBack: Can the Jurong Lake District become our second CBD, or will it remain a regional hub?

from Talkback · host CNA

New plans and developments are underway to shape the Jurong Lake District into what one analyst calls “potentially the second biggest CBD outside the City Centre". It has had quite a metamorphic history: from an industrial hub, to a one-time Silicon Valley zone in the '90s, and now emerging as a food and shopping standout. Can it take on the CBD? Daniel Martin speaks with Sing Tien Foo, Provost’s Chair Professor, Department of Real Estate, NUS Business School.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
