I used to come here all the time when I was in junior high and high school. Just coming here and being here was fun and exciting. Even though the photo was taken more than 10 years ago, the expressions of young people walking through the city are full of excitement. But lately, everyone's expressions have been cloudy.
Urban development is progressing even though there is no need for it, and the commercial facilities in the completed buildings are all high-end stores. Places like underground secret bases for young people without money are disappearing more and more. Is this really okay? At Shibuya.

IIED and pastoralism specialist Saverio Krätli are developing a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) funded by Misereor. The MOOC will provide an entry point for understanding pastoralism, and a valuable tool for navigating the available knowledge. It will be rooted in empirical observation and the latest breakthroughs in research and theoretical reflection.

Some developments have brought improvements to this area south of the river, well known for drug junkies and seedy night clubs. Friends of mine live nearby in Bonnington Square. They hate the developments along the river which you can see peeping up behind the railway lines. I was much too kind, giving the title I did, I was told.

It’s one thing to intellectually know the stories of development in Florida, but another thing to personally witness them. I had managed, unintentionally, to avoid seeing most of the beachside development in Florida on this trip, but heading from Pensacola back to Jacksonville, I wanted to try to see some of the Gulf Coast. I first discovered the Gulf Coast beaches when I lived in the Pensacola area in the 1970’s and had particularly liked both the calmness of the ocean and the still ‘laid back’ feel that the uncrowded beaches had in those days. I knew there had been quite a bit of growth over the decades, but wasn’t prepared for seeing what had been a wilderness with small, funky, beach towns to have become sprawling walls of beach condos that stretched for 60 miles east from Pensacola Beach to Destin.
I actually didn’t make it down to Pensacola beach. I was traveling on a Sunday and left early because I knew that would mean some beach traffic, but wasn’t prepared for how much beach traffic. After an hour of sitting in traffic waiting to get to Pensacola Beach, I just headed east on US 98 until I could find a good spot to look across Santa Rosa Sound. This is from a spot where I could pull off, near the bridge to Navarre Beach.
Back in the 70’s, Navarre Beach had been a fairly derelict looking area. In those days eastern portions of Santa Rosa island were associated with Eglin Air Force base in some way and largely closed off, and there wasn’t much pressure to develop other than closer to Pensacola. Thus Navarre Beach seemed to be only a small number of older, single-story beach houses and limited commercial activity providing sodas and fishing tackle for the chance explorer. That’s definitely not the case anymore.
Navarre Beach is still limited in space to grow by the Gulf Islands National Seashore on its western side, and the former military area (now a state park) on its eastern side. This and the adjacent two pictures are basically a sweep of the developed portions of Navarre Beach.
Per the Wikipedia page on Navarre, which includes both the mainland Navarre area and the Santa Rosa Island Navarre Beach area, the community’s (it’s unincorporated) population in 2014 was 42,200, but 40 years before (just about the time I lived in the area) it was around 1,500, an increase of over 2700% – and that’s not counting the huge increase in tourism.
