What can I say - China is colorful at night!
Here you can see the renovated riverside in new Binjiang district, with LED animations everywhere at night.
Note the new jogging and bicycle lanes.
Great idea, as it feels really nice to run on these padded, rubberized surfaces. Two thoughts coming to mind:
a) I really hope they didn´t use the same dangerous materials as in those schools in Beijing, where students suffered from nose-bleeding and other symptoms due to toxic fumes released by (most likely untested) rubber surfaces used on their running tracks. This happened only months ago. It really would surprise me if those same materials were *not* used here...
b) Those lanes would be even more enjoyable if people going for a stroll in the evenings actually recognized them for what they are and stayed on their side of the sidewalk (see my future upload). There is ample space for that. In theory.
Still, all in all some very nice developments over here!

showcases a blend of cutting-edge architecture and rich urban culture. Nestled between the Embarcadero and Rincon Hill, this district is characterized by its sleek skyscrapers and contemporary buildings, including the striking MIRA tower with its unique twisted design. Known for its walkability, The East Cut offers residents and visitors easy access to green spaces, trendy restaurants, and bustling street life, reflecting the city's innovative spirit. Historically, the area was a hub of industrial activity, but it has transformed into a modern urban enclave with luxury residences and commercial spaces. The community-focused neighborhood prides itself on sustainable development and urban greenery, making it a desirable location for both living and working. With its blend of old and new, The East Cut captures the essence of San Francisco's forward-thinking architectural and cultural landscape.
Seabrook, Washington, is such a contrived place to begin with, so let's just decide that everything to the right of this line has its own special name. Okay then.

Room [on the top deck of a] 101. The removal of the old 22-storey NatWest Tower on the corner of Colmore Row and Newhall Street is almost complete, taking the best part of a year. In its place a new development will rise (26 storeys) to 346 feet. More information here: www.birminghampost.co.uk/business/business-news/new-image...
This caught me by surprise when I came across it while on a quest to locate examples of street art. One thing that I did notice was that some drivers appeared to be somewhat confused by the layout … I say that because there were two minor crashes while I was photographing the area.
The Apple Market in Waterford has been the main location for trading since the early 18th century. Recently the area has been transformed into a contemporary urban quarter following a multi-million euro investment.
A specially constructed steel and glass canopy costing €1.2m was constructed as part of a €6m
urban renewal project undertaken by the local council of the area.
The structure is billed as being the only one of its kind in the country. The triangular steel and glazed canopy is held up by nine steel columns, positioned to facilitate certain traffic in the area.
A special reflective material developed by Medite in Co Tipperary is used on half of the 1,400 square-metre canopy, which is over nine metres above the street at its highest, creating a 'mirrored ceiling' effect.
Just on a quick, lunchtime visit to see progress in the construction. it was an overcast day as one can tell from the 'flat' lighting on the floor.

New Buildings For Old
Traffic is diverted, pedestrians are frustrated, bus stops are closed, and a once popular pub, The Duke of York, has been shut to allow a major redevelopment opposite Victoria Station in London.
It has been branded Nova Victoria, embracing five new buildings occupying an island site. Usage will include retail, residential, as well as public amenity space. This private development, due for completion in 2018, is being carried out in tandem with Transport for London's upgrade of the Victoria tube station.
This view comprises three landscape exposures merged vertically to take in the space to be occupied by the new complex. If I live long enough I shall repeat the exercise when the buildings are complete, for the sake of comparison. Here is a view from a couple of years back when The Duke of York was still open. It seems that the frontage is to remain, but all behind will be new.

My understanding is that there is a large development under way and it will include what is to be known as Tully Park centered on the ruins of Tully Church and Graveyard. According to the developers Tully Park will be 22 acres in size, roughly the same as Dublin’s St. Stephen’s Green Park. Being the flagship park of Cherrywood, Tully Park will serve as a facility for the entire development, containing everyday walking and cycling routes and providing environmentally-positive connections. Lehaunstown Lane and the existing hedgerows and tree lines will divide the Park naturally into four zones:
A Heritage Zone with Tully Church & Graveyard, High Crosses and their environs, with paths to explore the monuments.
A Biodiversity Zone with lots of native wildflowers, shrubs, trees and informal paths to wander.
A Play Zone that includes a large play area for children, a skate park and an amphitheater area for open-air plays or performances.
A Passive Zone with lawns meadows and wooded areas make up the majority here, with winding paths and seating areas.
It's now 23.45 and the very loud noise is still comming from the Tesco development, there is no contact information displayed. The man at the gate says they are behind schedule and need to catch up, he will not contact anyone from Patton construction group who are the main contractors, but I can call in tomorrow and talk to a manager.
Tesco development is behind schedule so the main contractor breaks the working hours which are part of the planning to get ahead, every little helps!

This newly constructed 5-plex in Pond Inlet stands as a vibrant symbol of community investment and support, made possible by the taxpayers of Canada.
With its bright orange exterior and modern design, the building provides essential housing in one of the country’s most remote Arctic communities. Set against the dramatic backdrop of snow-covered mountains, it reflects a commitment to improving infrastructure and quality of life in Nunavut’s northern settlements.

Sir Sean Connery returned to the Fountainbridge, Edinburgh where he was born 80 years ago to unveil a plaque re-erected on a new development which replaced the block demolished in the 60's.
We had lunch on this day and talked about many things including his work on the animation film "Sir Billi" which I did the legals on.
