Queenstown, Residential planning area in Central Region, Singapore

Queenstown occupies 20.43 square kilometers with multiple subzones including Ghim Moh, Holland Drive, and Commonwealth, housing approximately 96,000 residents.

The Singapore Improvement Trust initiated Queenstown's development in the 1950s as the country's first satellite town, followed by Housing and Development Board expansion in the 1960s.

The area features Chinese temples, churches, Hindu temples, and mosques, reflecting the multicultural composition of Singapore's population through its religious buildings.

Nine MRT stations across the East West Line and Circle Line serve Queenstown, complemented by three bus terminals providing extensive public transportation coverage.

The former swampy valley transformed into an educational hub, hosting institutions like Anglo-Chinese School, National University of Singapore, and Singapore Polytechnic.
