BTW, the large Urban Living buildings also resemble the first generation (60's) of government housing in Singapore, except that many of them have only pillars, open space, and rubbish pickup on the ground floor (it's called a "void deck" and is used for community events like weddings). Since 80% of the population lives in government housing, there is no negative stigma attached to it as there is in other countries.
