Enough land has been set aside for 700,000 more homes here by 2030 - more than half the 1.2 million households currently - to cater to a growing population.
This is part of a plan to provide good and affordable housing for Singaporeans detailed in the Population White Paper yesterday, as the population may reach 6.9 million by then.
"To support that kind of trajectory, we estimate that we will need another 700,000 new homes," said Minister for National Development Khaw Boon Wan at a press conference.
