User:Ffbond/Heartlands (Singapore)

Heartlands is a term used in Singapore to refer to the suburban towns, mainly filled with HDB flats, where the majority of the population live. Inhabitants of the heartlands are called heartlanders. Although the term is commonly used, there is no clear definition as to what exactly a heartlander is, although they are generally contrasted with elites.

Remaking the Heartlands is a government campaign to improve the heartlands, looking at Punggol, Yishun and Dawson in 2008-2010 and Hougang, Jurong and East Coast in 2011.
