Singapore's First Topographical & City Map

Few weeks ago, I came across Singapore's First Topographical and City Map exhibition at National Library which is located near near Bugis Junction MRT. 

At the exhibition, I saw 1924 Singapore map. Places that are still around today include Fort Canning and iconic Raffles Hotel. With rapid development, many buildings are demolished and paved way for development. 

Singapore was granted city status on 22nd September 1951, a day celebrated with fireworks and colourful processions.
