由来
  • 英语“new town”的意译。
  • 新镇的概念首见于1958年的发展总蓝图（Master Plan）中。
  • 新镇的计划一开始由新加坡改良信托局（Singapore Improvement Trust）负责，在新加坡独立后则改由建屋发展局（Housing & Development Board，简称“建屋局”）负责。
  • 除了建设住屋，当局还希望新镇能够促进人民之间的社交。因此，新镇的规划中还包括设立学校、公园、商店、运动设施等。
  • 改良信托局在1950年代建设了新加坡的第一个新镇——女皇镇（Queenstown）。
  • 在新加坡独立后，建屋局建设的第一个新镇是大巴窑（Toa Payoh）。
  • 1970年代中期，建屋局沿用了1960年代末发展出的“新镇构造模型”（New Town Structural Model）来建造新镇，提升了人民的生活环境。1973年开始建造的宏茂桥（Ang Mo Kio）新镇便是依照这个模型来建造。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The Mandarin term “新镇” is a paraphrase of the English term “new town”.
  • The concept of a new town was first seen in Singapore’s 1958 Master Plan.
  • While the Singapore Improvement Trust (SIT) was initially responsible for the planning of new towns, the Housing & Development Board (HDB) took over the role after Singapore gained independence.
  • In addition to providing people with homes, the Government also hoped that new towns would promote social interaction. Therefore, the planning of new towns included the construction of schools, parks, shops and sports facilities.
  • In the 1950s, the SIT built Queenstown, the first new town in Singapore.
  • After Singapore’s independence, the first new town built by the HDB was Toa Payoh.
  • During the mid-1970s, HDB adopted the New Town Structural Model developed in the late 1960s to build new towns. As a result, living conditions improved. Ang Mo Kio New Town, which started construction in 1973, was designed based on this model.
