Kallang is a neighbourhood located in the southeastern part of Singapore.
Geography
Kallang is home to many light industrial estates, such as pipe makers, garment factories, and is the office of choice for companies unwilling to pay for the high rent in the nearby Central Business District.
The housing estates inside Kallang are more than 20 years old, with some blocks now slated to be re-built under the En-Bloc redevelopment scheme to rejuvenate the area, which is dominated by the middle-aged section of society.
Jurisdiction
Kallang is under the Jalan Besar Group Representation Constituency, which operates the local town council responsible for the general maintenance of the area.
Transportation
As it is in close proximity to the Central Business District, many transportation services pass through Kallang, and trunk bus services are abundant, reaching estates as far as Jurong and Pasir Ris.
Rail service
- Connected to the East-West MRT line (The Mass Rapid Transit) at Kallang Station
- Connected to the North-East MRT line at Boon Keng Station
