Preservation in Singapore
Here are some old shophouses we visited a few months ago, in a part of the city that hasn’t been redeveloped yet. In fact, these are Chinese/Peranakan shophouses dating back to the turn of the 20th century, that are getting restored by their owners (when the owners can afford it). It’s an historical district (also adjacent to a red light district), so I guess that in contrast to the places claimed by emminent domain (see previous post) for urban development, these can never be knocked down and turned into malls.
