5. They told us to move: Conversations on relocation
Dakota Crescent was one of Singapore’s oldest public housing estates and a rental flat neighbourhood for low-income households. In 2016, its residents – many of whom are elderly – were relocated to Cassia Crescent to make way for redevelopment. But the process of relocation did not end with the physical move, and the conversation on why relocation should matter to all of us has only just begun.
Find out more about this historic part of Singapore at the book launch of "They Told Us to Move: Dakota—Cassia" which tells the story of relocation through the eyes of Dakota residents, volunteers and academics.
