Dakota Crescent, a public housing estate in Singapore, was built more than half a century ago. But it will be torn down for redevelopment. As I like to document Singapore, I visited this place again, this time round, with 399 vacated households and only one remaining. Maybe their new house was not ready.
How does it feel to live in an empty neighbourhood?

We were shocked to see 2-3 cat corpses lying around. Maybe they have been starved to death, hopefully it’s not foul play.

In June 2017, there were still many cats roaming around this estate. But no cat was spotted when I went back a few days ago (September 2017). I think they were being relocated by cat welfare organisation.

We went up and there’s one vacant house which the door is not locked.

Well taken and developed, Nicole. Excellent pics.
Thanks Anthony 🙂
This little project is really interesting and I love your pictures!
Thanks for taking them and showing them to us.
I have a mini-tip, if you include your friend’s feet in the photographs when shooting full-length portraits , it improves the picture.
Looking forward to your next posts!
