Abstract
The aim of conducting a series of community design workshops was to understand the unique needs and desires of the community, gather older residents' ideas, suggestions and solutions for their community's public space and urban problems so as to aid the design and placemaking of neighbourhood public space for an ageing community. The eight workshops were conducted in Bukit Panjang Town, specifically on Bukit Panjang Neighbourhood 2 Park. The themes included: Needs, Experiences and Vision; Accessibility and Connectivity; Park Identity and Activity; Safety and Security; Walk and Talk Urban Audit Session; Park Spirit and Sense of Place; and Community and Ownership. While participants expressed a general satisfaction with the park, they had concerns mostly with tidiness of the park, maintenance of greenery and managing the presence of undesirables.
