Is the redevelopment of central Bucharest the worst city planning disaster west of Pyonyang? And just don't get me started on Bulevardul Unirii!
-- From Wikipedia --
Bucharest suffered significant damage due to Allied bombing during World War II and the devastating earthquake of March 4, 1977. However, neither of these events changed the face of the city more than the Ceausescan "redevelopment schemes" of the 1980s, under which an overall area of eight square kilometers of the historic center of Bucharest were leveled, including monasteries, churches, synagogues, a hospital, and a noted Art Deco sports stadium. This also involved evicting 40,000 people after a single day's notice and relocating them to new homes, in order to make way for the grandiose Centrul Civic and the House of the Republic, now officially renamed as the Palace of Parliament.
The Palace of Parliament
Built on the site of a hill variously known as Spirii Hill, Uranus Hill, or Arsenal Hill, which was largely razed for this megaproject in 1980,[7] the building anchors the west end of Bulevardul Unirii and Centrul Civic. Constructing the Palace and Centrul Civic required demolishing much of Bucharest's historic district, including 19 Orthodox Christian churches, six Jewish synagogues, three Protestant churches (plus eight relocated churches), and 30,000 residences.[8]

Dalam aksi tersebut mereka mengecam keputusan KEPCO (Korea Electric Power Corporation) yang melanjutkan pendanaan megaproyek energi kotor Jawa 9 & 10, Banten dengan nilai investasi sebesar 3,2 miliar dolar Amerika. Keputusan ini sekaligus mempertegas bahwa komitmen Green New Deal Presiden Moon Jae In hanya pencitraan dan omong kosong. Dhemas Reviyanto Atmodjo/Trend Asia

They condemned the decision of KEPCO (Korea Electric Power Corporation) to continue funding the Java 9 & 10 dirty energy megaprojects, Banten with an investment of 3.2 billion US dollars.

Palm Islands are three artificial islands, Palm Jumeirah, Deira Island and Palm Jebel Ali, on the coast of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Creation of the islands started in 2001. As of November 2011, only Palm Jumeirah has been completed. This island takes the form of a palm tree, topped by a crescent.
After completion, Palm Jebel Ali will take a similar shape. Like Palm Jumeirah, each island will be host to a large number of residential, leisure and entertainment centers and will add a total of 520 kilometers of non-public beaches to the city of Dubai. wikipedia
Palm Jumeirah[edit]

The Palm Jumeirah seen from the International Space Station.
The Palm Jumeirah (Coordinates: 25°06′28″N 55°08′15″E) consists of a tree trunk, a crown with 16 fronds, and a surrounding crescent island that forms an 11 kilometer-long breakwater. The island itself is five kilometers by five kilometers. It adds 78 kilometers to the Dubai coastline.
Residents began moving into Palm Jumeirah properties at the end of 2006, five years after land reclamation began.
Palm Jumeirah Monorail opened in 2009; it is connected to station 9 of the Dubai Tram (Palm Jumeirah Station).
Palm Jumeirah hosts the Atlantis hotel resort and it was opened in 2010.[1]
Palm Jebel Ali[edit]

Palm Jebel Ali
The Palm Jebel Ali began construction in October 2000 and it was supposed to be completed by October mid-2008 but has been on hold since. Palm Jebel Ali was going to be built much larger than Palm Jumeirah, but has not yet been completed.[2][3]
Environmental concerns[edit]
The construction of the Dubai Palm Islands has had a significant impact on the surrounding environment, resulting in changes to area wildlife, coastal erosion, alongshore sediment transport and wave patterns. Sediment stirred up by construction has suffocated and injured local marine fauna and reduced the amount of sunlight which filters down to seashore vegetation. Variations in alongshore sediment transport have resulted in changes in erosion patterns along the UAE coast, which has also been exacerbated by altered wave patterns as the waters of the Persian Gulf attempt to move around the new obstruction of the islands. [4][5]
Dubai's megaprojects have become a favourite cause of environmentalists. Greenpeace has criticized the Palm Islands for lack of sustainability, and Mongabay.com, a site dedicated to rain forest conservation, has attacked Dubai's artificial islands aggressively, stating that:
Significant changes in the maritime environment [of Dubai] are leaving a visual scar [... ] As a result of the dredging and redepositing of sand for the construction of the islands, the typically crystalline waters of the Persian Gulf at Dubai have become severely clouded with silt. Construction activity is damaging the marine habitat, burying coral reefs, oyster beds and subterranean fields of sea grass, threatening local marine species as well as other species dependent on them for food. Oyster beds have been covered in as much as two inches of sediment, while above the water, beaches are eroding with the disruption of natural currents. wikipedia

Maasvlaktestrand Rotterdam
De Maasvlakte2 is een megaproject waarmee de Rotterdamse haven met opgespoten zand richting zee is uitgebreid. Naast de economische voordelen voor Rotterdam is er ook een 7 kilometer lang zandstrand ontstaan voor recreatie, vlakbij het voormalige Slufterstrand dat nu gesloten is.

De bouw van een nieuwe zeesluis in de haven van Zeebrugge wordt uitgesteld. De Vlaamse regering had het megaproject van 1 miljard euro meer dan 2 jaar geleden al goedgekeurd. Vlaams minister Lydia Peeters liet aan de haven weten dat ze de nieuwe zeesluis uitstelt omdat er nog te veel studiewerk moet gebeuren.
De nieuwe sluis is dringend nodig om grotere schepen in de achterhaven te krijgen. De bouw zou starten in 2024. Maar omdat er nog heel wat zaken onderzocht moeten worden, is de start van de bouw uitgesteld. De havenbedrijven zijn boos en ontgoocheld. "Wij wachten al 20 jaar op een nieuwe sluis", zegt Marc Adriansens van de vereniging van havenbedrijven Apzi-Voka aan Radio 2. "De vorige minister had al beloofd om de eerste steen te leggen. Dat zal nu ook niet gebeuren door de huidige minister. Zij schuift het door naar de volgende Vlaamse regering. Wie weet komt er dan wel een andere minister op dat departement, die de zaak dan ook weer moet onderzoeken. Wij voorzien 3 tot 4 jaar extra vertraging hierdoor! Wij kunnen dat niet meer uitleggen aan onze klanten. We wachten al 20 jaar op een nieuwe sluis. Een verdere vertraging is voor ons absoluut onaanvaardbaar."
De fusie tussen de havens van Antwerpen en Zeebrugge gaat volgend jaar in. "Wij hebben de indruk dat de middelen van de Vlaamse overheid ingezet worden voor projecten in de haven van Antwerpen en niet meer voor onze sluis in Zeebrugge.

Think City Vancouver Freeway Revolts – Bicycle Tour
Sunday, May 08, 2011
Tour participants in front of house slated for demolition to make way for freeway expansion at Grandview / Hwy 1
Starting along the Georgia and Dunsmuir viaducts we toured significant sites in Vancouver’s successful freeway revolt of the 60s and early 70s. As we head east we moved from the walking city in Strathcona / Chinatown to streetcar suburbs and discussed how public transit has shaped our city.
The tour ended at the site of the present day Highway 1 freeway widening, one of the key locations in the present day freeway revolt against the Gateway freeway megaproject.
