SINGAPORE — Close to 100,000 private and public homes are expected to be completed between 2023 and 2025, as Singapore ramps up construction to catch up on delays caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
There are now 100 BTO projects ongoing islandwide, and this will increase to more than 150 concurrent projects by 2025, he added. Impact studies and public engagements will be conducted for sites with ecological and heritage significance, Lee said. In response, Lee said Singapore's public housing system is "not perfect", and needs to be continually improved.
"The current system may not always work perfectly, and we will continue to adjust and calibrate along the way," he added.
