A picture of a linkway connecting Junction 8 shopping complex owned by Capitaland to a nearby HDB carpark. This linkway enables people to park their cars at the nearby car park and make their way to the shopping complex. As such, this makes shopping more convinient and also helps to faciliate movement during peak hours. Capitaland benefits as more customers will be attracted to the shopping complex and have a more enjoyable shopping experience while HDB will earn money from the parking coupons. Therefore, this is clearly a win-win situation and demostrates the importance of state planning in Singapore and also the need to cooperate with private companies in urban planning.
