This research is about Apartment Remodeling Upgrading Programme by Singapore Housing Development Board(HDB). For this study, we visited HDB and made field survey of the projects. There are basically three types of upgrading, namely, Precinct Upgrading, Apartment Block Upgrading and Flat Upgrading. Precint Upgrading refers the upgrading of services and facilities of the precinct. It involves the extention of open space, car-park, commercial space and additional covered linkways. These afford the residents greater convenience and comfort and generally enhance the environment of the community. Apartment Upgrading refers the upgrading of the block facade, improvements to the elevator, lift lobbies, letter boxes, trash chute and rain chute. The upgrading improves the quality of life of the residents. Flat Upgrading Involves the addition of space which may be in the form of a new Utility-room, replacement of old services, piping and equipment within an apartment unit. These provide the residents with a bigger and more comfortable living space.

This study examines the Singapore public housing supplied by Singapore Improvement Trust (SIT) in the 1950s. Focused on the Princess Elizabeth estate and Princess estate of Queenstown, this study surveys their construction backgrounds, site plans, unit plans, architectural designs and meanings. The Princess Elizabeth estate was the model estate for workmen's flats. This estate showed mixed blocks of flats arranged around a large quadrangled open space for children. The Princess estate was a neighborhood of Queenstown, Singapore's the first new town. At this Estate, there were some new architectural occurrences departing from the Tiong Bahru Estate. Those are the appearance of high-rise typology, and the increased specificity in the functions of open spaces. Thus the open space became to get hierarchy, and divided an estate to small neighborhood units. For the SIT, open space is synonymous with the improvement of urban environment. Through the purposeful creation of open space, the SIT intended to solve the problem of sanitation and to make a neighborhood unit which can be pleasant place for regional community.

본 논문은 최근 정책적 이슈로 대두되고 있는 한국토지주택공사(LH)의 부채문제 및 미래 역할과 관련하여 일본 도시재생기구(UR), 싱가포르 주택개발위원회(HDB), 홍콩 주택청(HA) 사례를 살펴봄으로써 시사점을 얻는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 국가별 주택정책의 전개과정과 각 기관의 사업내용 및 재무적 상황을 구체적으로 파악하고 비교하였다. 그 결과 주택대량공급 정책의 재검토, 임대주택 수혜계층 범위 확대, 도시재생 활성화, 민간과 지자체와의 협력강화, 정책사업 수행을 위한 LH 자금조달과 사업 손실에 대한 정부지원 강화, 공공주택기관 부채에 대한 재인식 등이 필요하다는 결론을 도출할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 이론적 관점이 아니라 주택 및 도시문제 해결을 위해 우리나라와 유사한 정책집행체계를 운영하고 있는 아시아 국가의 공공주택기관 실태를 통해 정책개선 방향을 제안하였다는 점에서 의의를 가진다.

Early 20th century Singapore was faced with the problem of overcrowding. The attendant problems of a rapid increase in population density, namely the lack of proper housing and sanitation, resulted in the issue of an appropriate residential environment emerging as an important task in urban planning. It was necessary to construct housing estates in order to solve this issue. At that time, the British colonial government attempted to transplant modern technology into the construction process of a residential complex system. However, Singapore's climate and traditional lifestyle made it impossible to apply the British modern system in a straightforward manner, and in the process, a number of transformations emerged. With a specific focus on the Tiong Bahru estate, one of Singapore's representative public housing projects, from the 1930s through the 1950s, this study intends to look at the way in which such residential estates were assimilated into local surroundings, and the effect of the transplantation of British concepts of modern housing theory. Therefore, the study is divided into an examination of the estate both before and after the turning point of World War II. This study confirms that the difference between the pre-war and post-war planning strategies for the Tiong Bahru estate were made according to the concept of 'open space.'
