It was developed into an&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_estate">industrial estate</a>&nbsp;in the 1960s, supported by low-cost housing. Amenities such as government dispensaries, a private hospital, creches,&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawker_centre">hawker centres</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank">banks</a>&nbsp;were built in the 1970s during efforts to develop Singapore economically.</p><p>Up to the late 1980s, only part of the Jurong West housing estate had been developed, specifically the area between&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boon_Lay_(Jurong_West)">Boon Lay</a>&nbsp;estate and&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurong_East">Jurong East</a>. In the early 1990s, a new section of&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pioneer_Road_North&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1">Pioneer Road North</a>&nbsp;was built to connect the present Jurong West Extension to&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Upper_Jurong_Road&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1">Upper Jurong Road</a>. This signalled the start of the development of Jurong West Extension. Today, the area is also served by the&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_Island_Expressway">PIE</a>&nbsp;which was extended to Tuas from&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporation_Road">Corporation Road</a>, also in the early 1990s.</p><p>In 1982, Jurong West New Town started expanding as Jurong West Extension,<sup><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurong_West#cite_note-1">[1]</a></sup>&nbsp;which saw the realignment of the&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_Island_Expressway">PIE</a>&nbsp;to make it go through the southern boundary of present-day&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanyang_Technological_University">NTU</a>, while converting the former section into Jurong West Avenue 2 and renaming the original Upper Jurong Road into Jurong West Avenue 4. Pioneer Road was extended North wards from present-day Upper Jurong Road as Pioneer Road North to the new&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PIE">PIE</a>&nbsp;exit, which signalled the start of the development of Jurong West Extension (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanyang,_Singapore">Nanyang</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurong_West_Central">Jurong West Central</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gek_Poh_Ville">Gek Poh</a>). The N9 estate was the first to be built and the N6 estate was the last, in the early 2000s. The MRT Line was extended from Lakeside to Boon Lay in 1990 and again to Pioneer in 2009.</p><p>Though a single neighborhood, Jurong West is divided into 3&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_Representation_Constituency">GRCs</a>&nbsp;(Chua Chu Kang, Jurong, and West Coast) and 1&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_Member_Constituency">SMC</a>&nbsp;(Hong Kah North) and with 3 Town Councils managing different parts of the neighborhood, namely the&nbsp;<b>Jurong Town Council</b>,&nbsp;<b>West Coast Town Council</b>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<b>Chua Chu Kang Town Council</b>.</p><p>Nonetheless, though divided into smaller constituencies, the neighborhood is collectively managed by the&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_Action_Party">PAP</a>.</p><p>Located next to the&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jurong_Industrial_Estate&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1">Jurong Industrial Estate</a>, managed by&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JTC_Corporation">JTC</a>, it is common to find foreign workers hanging out in the neighborhood and influx of foreign workers and foreign expatriates in the region has been a concern among the residents in the area.</p><br>]]></description>
