dc.description.abstract | The Housing and Development Board has achieved unprecedented success in solving the housing problem in Singapore. In the span of 24 years, it has improved once deplorable living conditions to a level that is envied by many, including the developed countries. While its task of providing shelter is a great success, how has the HDB fared in the provision of shops in the housing estates to serve the residents? This dissertation looks into two major aspects of this question: trade-mix and rental. In the analysis of trade-mix, it was proven that HDB shops have achieved commendable success in the provision of basic necessities. A survey on the shopping patterns of the HDB residents revealed that as a whole, about 67% of the basic purchases are made locally. In the case of the higher-order goods and services, however, the preference for the local facilities is less strong as only about one-third of such goods and services are bought in the estates. In the rental analysis, it was found that HDB shop tenants pay a substantially higher rent than their counterparts in nearby private shops. Also, shops in town centres have higher rents than those in neighbourhood centres. A comparison of rents paid by shops of different trade groups revealed that businesses with the advantage of devoting the trading space to a more intensive use pay a much higher rental. | |
