The Great East Coast Reclamation
"The Great East Coast Reclamation" was a major project to expand the land around the eastern areas by a process known as reclamation. Completed in 1985 after 22 years of reclamation work, it cost the government s$613 million. Around 1,525 ha of land was reclaimed for recreation and housing purposes. The reclaimation process included the building of a 100% man-made East Coast Park, which we will discuss later. The Marine Parade housing estate was built on this reclaimed land in the late 1960s and was completed in mid-1970s. The construction of the Marine Parade Town Centre was completed in 1975.
