The Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme, or SERS for short, is an urban redevelopment strategy employed by the Housing and Development Board in Singapore in maintaining and upgrading public housing flats in older estates in the city-state. Launched in August 1995, it involves a small selection of specific precincts in older estates which undergo demolition and redevelopment to optimise land use, as opposed to upgrading of existing flats via the Main Upgrading and Interim Upgrading Programmes. To date, 74 SERS sites have been announced, of which 65 were completed. All residents displaced by the redevelopment works are offered a new 99-year lease in new flats constructed nearby. These residents have the privilege to select their units prior to public release of the remaining units, are compensated financially, and are given subsidised prices for their new flats. The scheme also gives residents the opportunity to continue living near their kin and neighbours, thereby retaining kinship bonds and strengthening community ties. The Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme has attracted opposition and controversy. The national government has power, under the Land Acquisitions Act of 1966, to carry out the Selective En Bloc scheme.〔Singapore Statutes OnLine (Land Acquisition Act, Cap. 152 ). Accessed 12 February 2006.〕 This power invokes the principle of eminent domain as with most urban redevelopment projects. Amendments to the Land Titles Act passed in 1999 allowed housing estates to be sold against some apartment owners' will if the majority of the owners are in favour of the sale.〔Alice Christudason, (2 July 2004). (Private sector housing redevelopment in Singapore: A review of the effectiveness of radical strata title legislation ). Accessed 12 February 2006.〕 This invokes concerns of majoritarianism. ==Other demolished sites== *17 April 1994 – Block 140 Bedok North Avenue 3 *20 July 1994 – Blk 115 Hu Ching Road *5 August 1994 – Blk 120/121 Kim Tian Road *17 September 1994 – Blk 9–17 Petain Road/Sturdee Road *12 May 1995 – Block 33 to 37, 42 to 45 Prince Philip Avenue *26 May 1995 – Blk 38/39/40/41/46/47 Prince Philip Avenue *1 March 1996 – Blk 141A Toa Payoh Lorong 2 *29 March 1996 – Blk 11 Kallang *20 September 1996 – Blk 139 Kim Tian Road *27 December 1996 – Blk 46, 48, 50 Strathmore Avenue *25 July 1997 – Blk 5 New Bridge Road *6 June 1998 – Blk 21 Flanders Square *9 October 1998 – Blk 63–66 Toa Payoh East *30 April 1999 – Blk 25 and 26 Jalan Membina, Lengkok Bahru *18 June 1999 – Blk 102 and 103 Whampoa Drive *5 November 1999 – Blk 1 Tew Chew Street *3 March 2000 – Blk 3 Upper Pickering Street *21 April 2000 – Blk 63–67, 75, 68–69 Queenstown *9 June 2000 – Blk 75 Redhill Road *23 June 2000 – Blk 6A/6B Margaret Drive *7 July 2000 – Blk 6 and 7 Chai Chee Road *1 September 2000 – Blk 139 to 141 Corporation Drive/142 to 145 Hu Ching Road *8 September 2000 – Blk 110 New Bridge Road *5 November 2000 – Blk 5 Geylang Square *26 December 2000 – Blk 109 Depot Road *5 April 2002 – Blk 30/39 Kim Pong Road and Blk 31/40/51 Kim Tian Road 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
