188

The evolution of the public works scene in Singapore since the first Public Works Office was established in 1833 has supported the Singapore urban landscape and propelled the island into a “Garden City” that is world-renowned. Founded on this 188-year legacy, CPG Corporation (CPG) as the corporatised entity of the former Public Works Department of Singapore, is commemorating our journey in the built environment industry with the publication of a commemorative book titled "CPG 188". Join us in exploring our storied legacy through a look at the corporation’s works in laying foundations, connecting places, building communities, enabling healing and shaping identities.
