Residents and visitors to Punggol can now learn about the Housing Board town at a new visitors' centre, as well as on a location-based mobile app that displays facts about local landmarks.
Located near Punggol MRT and Waterway Point mall, the three-storey, 400sqm Punggol Discovery Cube officially opens this Sunday (Jan 15).
The ground floor features an interactive model of the town, including upcoming projects. Touchscreens display information on green areas, notable public housing projects, the waterway and more - with the relevant parts of the model lighting up accordingly.
On the second floor, visitors can learn about Punggol's history as a fishing village, its development as an HDB town and its future, with smart initiatives such as the use of digital modelling to plan town layouts with optimal wind flow.
