THIS AREA IS LOCATED NEAR CLEMENTI AVENUE 2, SHING

SHONG, IN FRONT OF BLOCK 357. IT HAS A PLAYGROUND AND
AN EXERCISE AREA. THIS IS ONE OF THE LARGEST OPEN
AREAS IN THE AREA. IT HAS BEEN USED FOR CONCERTS,
FAIRS AND SMALL EVENTS. USUALLY, IT IS A DAY FILLED
WITH PARENTS, HELPERS, OR EVEN THE ELDERLY RELAXING
AND TALKING. PARENTS OR HELPERS CAN WATCH OVER
THEIR CHILDREN WHILE THEY ARE SEATED AND MAYBE
HAVING A CHAT WHILE HAVING A PICNIC. THIS PROMOTES
REGULAR INTERACTIONS.

CREATE MORE PUBLIC GATHERING SPACES TO ENCOURAGE SOCIAL INTERACTIONS, SUCH

AS PARKS AND COMMUNITY GARDENS, PLAZAS AND SQUARES, AND COMMUNITY
CENTERS AND LIBRARIES. THESE SPACES SHOULD PROVIDE PICNIC AREAS, SEATING, AND
OPEN SPACES FOR GROUP ACTIVITIES LIKE YOGA. ADDITIONALLY, THEY SHOULD HAVE
CAFES OR LOUNGES WHERE PEOPLE CAN GATHER AND CONNECT.

THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD HOST MORE COMMUNITY EVENTS THAT BRING PEOPLE
TOGETHER AND ENCOURAGE SOCIAL INTERACTIONS, SUCH AS STREET FAIRS, FOOD
FESTIVALS, PUBLIC CONCERTS, MOVIE SCREENINGS, AND VOLUNTEER EVENTS. THESE
EVENTS WILL PROVIDE PEOPLE WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET NEW PEOPLE, FORM
NEW FRIENDSHIPS, AND BECOME INVOLVED IN THEIR COMMUNITY. EXAMPLES OF THESE
EVENTS INCLUDE STREET FAIRS, FOOD FESTIVALS, PUBLIC CONCERTS, MOVIE
SCREENINGS, AND VOLUNTEER EVENTS.
 Reflection
CHARLOTTE- THESE SPACES ALL HAVE A PURPOSE
FOR HUMAN INTERACTION TO OCCUR,EXAMPLE
BEING THE PLAYGROUND WHERE KIDS FROM
DIFFERENT AGE,RACE AND GENDER CAN COME
TOGETHER AS ONE. ALLOWING HUMANS TO HAVE A
COMMON SPACE,ONE IS BOUND TO BRODEN THEIR
SOCIAL CIRCLE. THESE SPACES CONSTANTLY HAVE
PEOPLE ENCOUNTERING ONE ANOTHER WHICH
INCREASES HUMAN INTERACTION BETWEEN ONE
ANOTHER. IN CONCLUSION, THESE SPACES ARE
QUITE SUCCESSFUL IN CONTRIBUTING TO
SUSTAINABLE LIVING AS PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO
MAKE NEW FRIENDS,IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF
LIFE.

NASHWA- A SOCIAL NEIGHBOURHOOD IS

IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT PROVIDES INDIVIDUALS
WITH A SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND BELONGING.
WHEN PEOPLE FEEL CONNECTED TO THEIR
NEIGHBOURS, THEY ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE HAPPY,
HEALTHY, AND SATISFIED WITH THEIR LIVES.
SOCIAL NEIGHBOURHOODS FOSTER SOCIAL
SUPPORT NETWORKS THAT CAN PROVIDE
EMOTIONAL AND PRACTICAL HELP DURING
DIFFICULT TIMES, AND CAN HELP TO REDUCE SOCIAL
ISOLATION. PEOPLE ARE MORE LIKELY TO ENGAGE IN
SOCIAL ACTIVITIES, SUCH AS COMMUNITY EVENTS
OR GROUP EXERCISE CLASSES, WHICH CAN LEAD TO
INCREASED PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND IMPROVED
MENTAL HEALTH. ADDITIONALLY, SOCIAL
NEIGHBOURHOODS ARE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE
LOWER CRIME RATES, AS NEIGHBOURS TEND TO
WATCH OUT FOR EACH OTHER AND TAKE ACTION TO
PREVENT CRIME. FINALLY, SOCIAL
NEIGHBOURHOODS PROVIDE A SENSE OF SECURITY,
AS PEOPLE ARE MORE LIKELY TO FEEL SAFE AND
COMFORTABLE IN AN AREA WHERE THEY KNOW
THEIR NEIGHBOURS.
