RESIDENTS in northern Singapore may soon get their own mini-metropolis when Woodlands is transformed into a waterfront destination that is also rich in jobs.
These preliminary plans were unveiled yesterday by National Development Minister Khaw Boon Wan for the regional centre that will serve as a major commercial node in the north.
The centre, stretching from the north coast fronting the Strait of Johor to the centre of Woodlands, offers Woodlands Regional Centre 100ha for development.
