Reflection and Improvement

Imbalance between tourism and residents' lives.

Many heritage houses converted into commercial premises.

Lack of parking spaces and traffic congestion.

Physical conservation not accompanied by conservation of living culture

Kevin Lynch: Add signboards, wayfinding and clear landmarks.

Jan Gehl: Provide comfortable public spaces such as seating & shade trees.

Gordon Cullen: Create interesting visual experiences such as murals & art alleys.

UNESCO HUL: Involve the community in comprehensive heritage conservation.
