GeylangSerai

11 DECEMBER 2018 - SINGAPORE: Traditional shophouses in front of new government housing on Sims Road in the Geylang neighborhood. 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
