As Singapore develops from an entrepot trade port in the early 50s to a cosmopolitan city, a prominent feature of Singapore's urban life is its changing skyline. This stamp issue by Singapore Post features the skyline of Singapore as a cosmopolitan city during the 80s. The 10c stamp features the Orchard Road Corridor, planned by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) as a "tourist belt". The 50c stamp features the Central Business District of the Raffles Place/Shenton Way area. Meanwhile, the 75c stamp features the Marina Centre and Raffles City, an extension of the traditional tourist belt of Orchard Road, with shopping space and convention facilities. Much has changed since then, and the stamp issue in 2020 on Singapore skyline features the cosmopolitan city that we see today – click here for more details.
