  • 13 DECEMBER 2018 - SINGAPORE: Stairs going into apartments in shophouse buildings in the Geylang neighborhood. The original shophouses of Singapore are disappearing. Some are being torn down to make way for high rise developments, others are being gentrified into touristy shops and restaurants. The Geylang area of Singapore, between the Central Business District and Changi Airport, was originally coconut plantations and Malay villages. During Singapore's boom the coconut plantations and other farms were pushed out and now the area is a working class community of Malay, Indian and Chinese people. In the 2000s, developers started gentrifying Geylang and new housing estate developments were built.     PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
