Lim Chu Kang, often abbreviated as LCK, is a planning area located in the North Region of Singapore. It shares its boundaries with the Western Water Catchment to the west and south, Sungei Kadut to the east and the Straits of Johor to the north. Unlike most parts of Singapore which have undergone extensive urban development, Lim Chu Kang has remained largely undeveloped and continues to serve as one of the few rural zones in the country. The area is characterised by its agricultural activities and pockets of forested land.
The rural nature of Lim Chu Kang is reflected in its landscape and land use. It is home to many farms, including vegetable and livestock farms, fish hatcheries and nurseries, which supply a portion of Singapore's local produce. The area's limited public transport access, low population density and absence of high-rise buildings further distinguish it from the rest of the country.
