People's Park Complex, a Chinatown landmark in Singapore for 50 years, is being considered for conservation by the Government. Tenants have mixed views, with some advocating for redevelopment and others valuing its historical and architectural significance. The ongoing conservation study is seen positively by heritage experts, emphasising the importance of preserving post-independence buildings that reflect Singapore's architectural evolution.
When People's Park Complex first opened 50 years ago, it was a trailblazer in its own right. Heritage experts are happy with the news that People's Park Complex might be conserved, but some shop owners believe a total redevelopment would be better for business.
