I found that the limited social spaces in a neighbourhood commonly applies to older estates as the social spaces available were not well-designed or even no longer in use as it does not appeal to individuals. The newer estates have a better system/ground plan. In comparison with an older estate, a newer estate has better facilities. Such as recreational spaces which appeals to all age groups, including the elderly. Unlike the older estate, they tend to have spaces that are intended for only one purpose or designed for a specific age group. Which I believe, is a major contribution to the current issue.
Older estate (Toa Payoh)
Newer estate (Punggol)
