The young Sengkang-Punggol estate gives us a preview of what future Singapore could look like. With a diverse population of new immigrants, young couples, the embrace of technology and the environment, integration is key for harmony.
At first sight, GZ is a rooftop garden cum dog park, integrating two hobbies / interests which Sengkang residents have. But GZ is also so much more than that. Here at GZ, "ABC" represents two more prominent themes of integration. Some questions to ponder about.
Theme 1. Have a read of the signboard at the entrance of the rooftop garden. What does ABC stand for? Do you think such features are necessary in Singapore? Why or why not?
Theme 2. Have a look across the road. This is the newest campus of GIIS where children learn their ABCs. Have a read online about GIIS and what they have done to integrate into the local community. What are your views on immigration?
Dogs welcome at GZ, it is pretty breezy at night, great for chilling. Some stealth required. Cache has space for small swag. BYOP!
