Lim Chu Kang · Tengah
Singapore’s greenest frontier, home to the nation's primary agricultural hub and the revolutionary new "Forest Town."
District 24 has long been Singapore’s "wild west," characterized by military training grounds and heritage farms. Lim Chu Kang was established as a village by Neo Tiew in the early 20th century. Today, it is transitioning into a high-tech Agri-Food Zone. Tengah, once a restricted area, is being built from the ground up as Singapore's first smart, car-free town center.
