Living spaces getting smaller and smaller.

We have also made 3 different research methodology to show how we are going to tackle this problem and also to show what we want to achieve by using these method. Firstly, we are going to tackle this problem using the comparison method.

By comparing the size of a HDB flat with the old and new. It is obvious that old flats are so much bigger than now. Apparently, the reason for it is because the families now are getting smaller thus the government shrink the sizes of HDB flats so that it will not occupy unnecessary lands and the land can be saved up and used for better purposes in the future.

A four-room HDB flat in the 1980s, boasted a size of 105 sq m, or 1,130 sq ft. Today, four-room flats built by HDB have shrunk to about 90 sq m, or 969 sq ft.   HDB chief executive Cheong Koon Hean confirmed same, that it reduced flat sizes in the mid-1990s.
