In Singapore, majority of the people live in Government built public flats that look like this. It comes in various sizes and designs. At the bottom of the flat is a void deck that can be booked for various functions. These flats are supposedly priced fairly if you buy direct from the Government. And supposedly it can be used as an asset if you resell it later as resale prices can be high. However the guidelines to buy a flat directly is very pro family and you have to be married to get one. There are some guidelines for singles too but generally needs to be fairly old like 35 for singles to get a flat. Whether the flats are really an asset is a controversial topic as they are only on a lease of 99 years.

A void deck used for play by a child care centre.
On normal days, some void decks are used for playing purposes, like tagging, blading, balls kicking. Though I kinda dislike balls kicking as it dirtied the walls. It is actually against the bye laws but no one enforces it.
