MODERNISM IN SINGAPORE
1920 Past Modernity of a cosmopolitan city - featuring a fusion of elements and culturally mixed communities
1927 - 1959 Singapore Improvement Trust (SIT) introduced modernism to Singapore, set up by the British colonial government. SIT built large scale public housing projects, dealing with problems of urban modernization, general physical environment, sanitation and public housing.
1959 Singapore declares self-government independece. The country soughts to use Modernism to break away from its British colonial legacy as its new national identity of an independent state.
1960 With self-governence, Housing Development Board (HDB) was established as the statutory board, taking over SIT to provide public housing for the masses, whilst eradicating inner city slums and unhealthy living conditions.
