Singapore

Orchard Road

Orchard Road is a name in daily use in Singapore that no authority defines. The shopping street itself and the malls along it, a narrower thing than the planning area of the same name. It is recorded here with a centre and a radius rather than a boundary: the statutory geography that covers it is Orchard planning area, and drawing a line around the local name would invent a fact.
