Conclusion



It is common to see monuments and landmarks that decorate our urban spaces. However, a heritage trail is almost unheard of until we came to the module AAH103, Singapore History, and was tasked with this project. Apart from the fun that we had during this trail, all of us definitely learned more about our history and heritage after exploring each site. Common to all the locations was the idea of preservation, re-construction and renovation. As we examined these locations, they reveal snippets of our colonial past and the developments that Singapore underwent over the years. Though we are still not fully equipped with the knowledge of Singapore's entire history and cultural heritage, we are glad that the National Heritage Board has sought to preserve these spaces in order to keep the historic past of Singapore relevant and sustainable for the future. While this marks an end to the heritage trail, we will continue to find out more about our homeland and gain new insights about its past. We had a great time doing this blog, and we hope you also had an enjoyable time reading it.
