After successfully getting the Victorian Gothic and Art Deco Ensemble of Mumbai inscribed as a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee in June 2018, members of the Federation of Residents Trust (FORT) have now started working on the next step—a signage plan. Following the guidelines laid out by UNESCO, the plan will involve putting up different kinds of signage at 94 heritage buildings that are part of the ensemble and will, hopefully, cultivate a sense of public responsibility towards the heritage sites.

On August 6, members of FORT presented a model of the plan to the Mumbai Heritage Conservation Committee (MHCC) and received an informal nod from the committee members. Rajiv Mishra, an MHCC member and principal of JJ College of Architecture, said, "The idea was good and an in-principle approval has been given. After the presentation, they were given feedback based on the position, height and colour scheme that should gel with the character of the ensemble. They have been asked to present again and the final approval will be subject to feedback." The presentation will be at the next MHCC meeting this month.
