subject: Choosing Preschool Punggol [print this page] Punggol (Ponggol) estate is in the north-east region of Singapore. Once a large kampong and a fishing village, today it has been earmarked to become the "Waterfront Town", the 21st century housing estate for yuppies in Singapore. Bounded by three rivers, the Sungei Punggol, the Sungei Serangoon and the New River, the new Punggol Town would sit between nearby Coney Island and the mainland. The entire area, north-east of Singapore, is bounded by Sungei Serangoon to the east, Tampines Expressway to the south, Sungei Punggol to the west, Selat Johor and Serangoon Harbour to the north, and covers an area of approximately 957 ha. The North-East MRT line, with a LRT link, connects Punggol with the rest of Singapore. To promote the concept of 'Green Living by the Waters' in Punggol, natural elements like the wind, sun and rain will be tapped on in the future planning and design of Punggol town. More environmentally friendly buildings with higher Green Mark ratings for developments along the waterway will be built. Cycling paths, charging stations at car parks and spaces for car sharing services in the estates will be built to encourage clean commuting for families with kids at preschool Punggol. Large scale test-bedding of new green technologies and urban solutions in the areas of energy, waste and water management will also be carried out, with the hope of replicating these across other towns island wide.
