British Colonial Building, Yangon
There are more than 200 buildings dating from the colonial era in Yangon. While a few have been maintained or restored, most are in a state of serious neglect. They are all at risk of being razed by foreign investors to make way for low and mid-level development projects. This building is across the street from Yangon City Hall, another historical building. There is some local interest in preserving such buildings for historical purposes and to bolster tourism, but there are many challenges, and the clock is ticking.
