Colombo has missed the boat Monday, 14 October 2024 06:12 PM

Decades of using every perch of land for building houses has brought about the sitaution. Colombo and other areas of high population shouldn't have so much single story, one family homes. Dwelling should be constructed like in Singapore, where majority live in apartments.
