History
Ang Mo Kio New Town is the seventh New Town to be built in Singapore. The early stage of construction took place in 1973 by the Housing and Development Board under the Ministry of National Development. After over thirty years of existence, it is considered one of the matured housing estates with established markets, schools, institutions, community, residential, administrative centers, and even a community hospital and other important amenities for the housing residents. A new town, planned community or planned city is a city, town, or community that was designed from scratch, and grew up more or less following the plan. ...

Ang Mo Kio New Town is in a dynamically changing environment. Further improvements made to the town are still in process under the HDB and the Town Councils established in the various housing estates on the island. It has the overall preview of the Ministry of National Development. The administrators have successfully completed various phases. For example, they have upgraded programs in their strategic planning of the overall Island City of Singapore.

Town planning The town has seven neighbourhoods, with Neighbourhood 1 to the west, and cycling in an anti-clockwise direction to Neighbourhood 6 to the north, and ending with Neighbourhood 7 for the town centre. The town centre is located in the heart of Ang Mo Kio and is sandwiched by two town gardens set on natural hillocks.
Residential Following the norm from the seventies, most of the flats are organised in 12-storey long blocks or 25-storey point blocks. In recent years, certain parts of the estate have been rebuilt as part of the long process of renewal. As a result, segments of higher blocks clustered together can be seen interleaved with the older blocks. The 1970s decade refers to the years from 1970 to 1979, inclusive. ...
One particular block, Block 524 at Ang Mo Kio Street 52, stands out for its many cleanliness and friendly neighbourhood awards won over the years. The residents there are known for being especially courteous and helpful towards one another - a trait often seen lacking in modern Singapore.[citation needed]
Commercial The Town is comparatively quiet and nightlife hardly exists. It used to be a new town when first developed as a satellite town. There were once crowds all day and night, but they have dwindled to a few nowadays. It has recently moved the center of attraction of the shopping complex come bus terminal to another vicinity nearby, and the crowd left with only the few who lived around here. In its plan to draw back the crowd, the town planners are getting to build another new town center to replace the old. It is expected to be completed in 2006. 2006 (MMVI) is a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
Transportation The town's road system utilises a hierarchy of road sizes by design: the major roads are referred to as "Avenues", and the local-access roads referred to as "Streets". The town's avenues are arranged in a grid-like pattern, with the streets filtering traffic from the avenues to the individual blocks. The town itself is served by the Central Expressway, providing a rapid link from the town to the rest of the island on the expressway network.

The town's road numbering system has the avenues in odd numbers generally running in an east-west direction originating from the south, while the even numbers run in a north-south direction counting from the west. Hence, Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1 runs along the south edge of the town to Ang Mo Kio Avenue 9 in the north, while Ang Mo Kio Avenue 2 runs in a north-south direction to the west of the town, while Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10 is located in the east. Street numberings are in two digits, with the first number corresponding to the neighbourhood it belongs to, while the second digit runs in numerical sequence.
