The region is the largest in terms of land area and is the second most populous region after the Central Region. Jurong East is the regional centre of the region, with plans of developing the Jurong Lake District into a second CBD area.[2] Jurong West is the most populous town in the region, with a population of 272,660 residents.[1] Comprising 25,500 hectares of land area,[3] it includes twelve planning areas and is home to about 903,010 residents. GeographyWith a total land area of {{convert|201.3|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}}, the region is situated on the western corner of Singapore Island, bordering the North Region to the north and east, Central Region to the south-east and the Straits of Johor to the west. The region is largely made up of residential towns and established industrial estates. Located at the southernmost part of the region, far away from the main residential and commercial areas, Jurong Island and Tuas house a majority of Singapore's heavy industries.
