How It All Began
In March 2005, then Minister of Community Development, Youth and Sports, Dr. Vivian Balakrishnan, announced plans to transform 1.2 ha plot in the heart of Orchard Road into a community space for youth. This initiative was in response to growing calls from young Singaporeans for more community spaces to host recreational activities, social and community events, and platforms for self-expression and talent showcasing.
In 2007, *SCAPE was formed, and by 2010, the *SCAPE building was launched. This dynamic space brought together a blend of community and retail areas, quickly becoming a vibrant hub for youth engagement and creativity.
Today, *SCAPE continues to evolve, offering a diverse network of programmes, communities, and facilities to empower youth in pursuing their interests and passion. As a non-profit, registered charity and Institution of a Public Character (IPC) as well as the precinct manager of Somerset Belt, *SCAPE remains committed to creating opportunities and making a positive impact on the youth community.
