The Irish architect, George Coleman was responsible for many of the fine buildings that
graced Singapore in the early 19th century, sadly few remain today. When, between
October 1822 and February 1823, Raffles drafted the Town Planning Ordinances, he
consulted at length with Coleman, and took great pains to ensure an orderly and well
laid out development. It was left to Coleman's practical skills, in the late 1820s and early
1830s, to implement Raffles' detailed instructions. 12 pages 248x300mm softcover
