History
On 18 September 2021, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong announced that a garden at Dhoby Ghaut Green could be chosen as a public space dedicated to the women of Singapore as part of a proposal by the Singapore Council of Women's Organisations that was accepted by the Government.[1]
Design
The park was designed by Soo K. Chan of SCDA Architects. Chan was commissioned by the Urban Redevelopment Authority to conceptualize and design the space after he won the Designer of the Year title in Architecture and Urban Design in 2006 at the inaugural President's Design Award, the nation's highest honor for excellence in design. Structural engineering was by Web Structures.
