Ang Mo Kio, Residential planning area in North-East Region, Singapore.

Ang Mo Kio spans 13.94 square kilometers and contains twelve distinct subzones with a mix of public housing developments and private residential properties.

The Housing and Development Board initiated development of this area in 1973, transforming agricultural land into their seventh satellite town by 1980.

The neighborhood name comes from Hokkien dialect references to bridges and reflects the multicultural nature through its temples, mosques, and community centers.

The area connects to Singapore's transportation network through multiple MRT stations, including Ang Mo Kio, Lentor, and Mayflower stations.

In 1986, Ang Mo Kio established Singapore's first three town councils, setting a precedent for the Town Council Act of 1988.
