Most global cities that rank high on tourist maps are those that showcase their public buildings with pride. Sadly, ours doesn’t. How many of us have actually seen the interiors of the BMC building or the General Post Office? For our city to stand out as a buzzing, thriving tourist hub, this vital cog must be addressed and accounted for. Tourist itineraries miss out on our historic landmarks -- from the ones we’ve spelt above to the Town Hall, the Fort University complex, the David Sassoon Reading Library or the St Andrew’s Church opposite Lion Gate. The list is endless. And we continue to miss out on highlighting our rich architecture --that’s easily one of the most diverse celebrations of styles among Asian cities, if not the world.

Better signage, please
