2 Homes in Tengah town will be surrounded by lush greenery and nature. To harness nature’s benefits for greater environmental health and residents’ well-being, HDB has applied its Biophilic Town Framework to guide the enhancement of existing natural assets and the design and development of neighbourhood landscapes in Tengah. Residents can look forward to nature-centric neighbourhoods that offer a strong sense of place, better well-being, and an enhanced quality of life.

3 A town-wide Active, Beautiful, and Clean Waters design strategy will be introduced to draw people closer to nature, with a variety of outdoor spaces and landscape features which slow down and treat stormwater runoff. For more details on Tengah town, please visit HDB’s exhibition at HDB Hub, .

4 Tengah will be the first town to integrate housing developments with the area’s surrounding greenery and biodiversity. One major attraction will be the approximately 100m-wide and 5km-long Forest Corridor, which will form part of the larger network of greenery that connects the Area and the Central Catchment Nature Reserve. In collaboration with the National Parks Boards, various tree species will be planted in the Forest Corridor to transform it into a rich forest habitat.

5 Complementing the Forest Corridor is the Forest Fringe, a 15m- to 20m-wide linear greenscape that will provide a tranquil and rustic environment for residents to enjoy flora and fauna, and envelop the town within a scenic and natural landscape. In addition, extensive park spaces, such as the Central Park and Community Farmways, will string key amenities and facilities together, providing a safe environment for residents to access their daily amenities.

6 Tengah will be the first HDB town to have a car-free town centre nestled next to a lush green park. To encourage green commuting, there will be dedicated walking and cycling paths along all roads to create seamless connections within the town. The upcoming Region Line and bus services will serve the public transport needs of residents.

7 Tengah is also the first HDB town to be planned with town-wide smart technologies from the outset. Guided by HDB’s Smart Town Framework, the various districts will integrate smart technology in its design, so that residents can enjoy a quality living environment.
