Morning In Greentown

The car park of Greentown Mall is nearly empty in the morning. Greentown has not started the busy day now & the surroundings seem peaceful. At this part of Greentown, as captured in this photo, the partly unoccupied EPF (Employees Provident Fund) Building & the medical college with halted construction, together with the neighbouring Greentown Square & Federal Government Building which are also less occupied, are having low density of worker. I find the development of Greentown seems loss focus & messed up after several non-synchronized projects took place.
