Abstract
Housing and Development Board (HDB) neighbourhood centres have evolved over the past four decades. These neighbourhood centres mainly provide for the daily living needs of the households in a housing estate i.e., “convenience goods”, such as groceries, drugs, hardware and personal services. This study aims to provide an insight into the development of the neighbourhood centres in Singapore over the past four decades, as well as compare the shoppers’ preferences of three types of neighbourhood centres, namely; the Traditional Neighbourhood Centres, the New Generation Neighbourhood Complexes and the Neighbourhood Cluster Shops.The findings show that most shoppers prefer the Traditional Neighbourhood Centres than the other two types of neighbourhood centres. This is due to the wider variety of goods and services and better travel factors offered by the Traditional Neighbourhood Centres. These findings have significant implications for the planning of future neighbourhood centres in Singapore.
