Tampines (or Tampines New Town) is the largest residential area of the city-state of Singapore and is located in the East of the main island. The town is so named because in the 1900s a large forest of Tampines trees were located at the present site. The densely populated district is home to a rather diverse group of different races as it is a relatively new town, unlike Chinese-dominated Chinatown or Malay-dominated Kampong Glam. It is, however, quite unknown to tourists as it is not within walking distnce from the city centre and is not particularly famous. The Building and Social Housing Foundation (BSHF) of the United Nations awarded the World Habitat Award to Tampines, which was selected as a representative of Singapore's new towns, on 5 October 1992.
