China Developing
China's urban development is concomitant with its economic development and integration with the dynamics of globalization. The gaps are widening between cities and countryside to reach limits never crossed. The development of rural areas, where more than 600 million Chinese still live, is a gigantic task for the Communist Party. That's why the government is building territory development programs. And comfortable houses rather than wooden houses. Young people are convinced.
These laudable goals want to make the Chinese people a "rich people" and the country the world's largest economic power, while in the countryside the population is very poor. People still live there as in the Middle Ages. Xi Jinping, the Chinese PC President has imposed a new motto: the Chinese Dream as the American Dream. It is about working for the great renaissance of the Chinese nation.
A breathtaking view captures the vibrant orange and yellow hues of a sunset over the city of Chengdu in Sichuan province, China. The skyline is silhouetted against the colorful sky, showcasing a mix of modern skyscrapers and construction sites. Rays of light break through the clouds, casting a dramatic effect on the landscape.

The rapidly developing urban landscape of Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang province, experiencing large scale growth during the 2010s, as seen from the landmark Hongshan park pagoda.
Xinjiang is frequently at the center of many patently false claims of oppression against Muslims by the Chinese Han people. Even a quick visit to Urumqi and surroundings helps to dispel many of those myths widely spread in Arab, Turkish and Western media.

Vizcayne (formerly known as "Everglades on the Bay") is an urban development in the City of Miami, Florida, United States. It is located in northeastern Downtown. It consists of two residential skyscrapers, North Tower and the South Tower as well as a retail center. The buildings were topped out (reached full height) in 2007 and were completed in early 2008. They are located on Biscayne Boulevard between Northeast 2nd and 3rd Streets. The complex consists of two twin towers and the Everglades Plaza. Both towers are 538 ft (164 m) tall, and each has 49 floors. The Everglades Plaza is a retail and community center at the base of both towers, connecting both and occupying the entire city block. The main entrance to the plaza is on Biscayne Boulevard. The towers provide retail on the street level and the rest of the floors are used for residential units. Specifically, floors 2-7 are flats and lofts, and floors 8-49 are condo units. The architect of these buildings is Fullerton-Diaz Architects, Inc. The developer is Cabi Developers, a division of GICSA. The complex is located at the site of the former Everglades Hotel, which was closed in 2003 and imploded on January 23, 2005 to make room for the new towers.

Goliath. visually explores the theme of scale, emphasizing the contrast between the immense size of urban architecture and the relative smallness of individual human experience within these spaces. It is a study in contrasts: solidity and void, opacity and transparency, enormity and minutiae. Goliath. ultimately raises questions about the individual's place in the architectural colossus of the urban landscape.

A modern high-rise stands tall against a backdrop of endless forest, its sharp lines and vivid green facade contrasting with the softer tones of trees and suburban houses below. The glass balconies reflect fragments of life, while the grid-like design adds order to the vertical rise. Between city and nature, this building becomes a striking marker of human presence in the landscape — a geometric statement reaching above the treetops.

Tbilisi is the capital and largest city of Georgia, situated in the eastern part of the country on the banks of the Kura River. With a rich history spanning over 1,500 years, Tbilisi has been shaped by numerous cultures and civilizations over the centuries. The old part of Tbilisi, known for its charming architecture and unique atmosphere, is one of the most captivating areas of the city. In contrast, the Peace Bridge is a strikingly modern architectural marvel and one of Tbilisi’s most recognizable landmarks. Completed in 2010, the bridge was designed by Italian architect Michele de Lucchi, with lighting by French designer Philippe Martinaud. It spans the Kura River, connecting the old town with the newer districts, and serves as an important pedestrian route and a symbol of the city. The bridge’s design is particularly remarkable, featuring a glass canopy that curves gracefully over the walkway. Often compared to a giant glass wave or a sea creature, the canopy is made of steel and glass and is illuminated at night by thousands of LED lights. These lights create a breathtaking visual display and are programmed to transmit messages in Morse code, conveying universal symbols of life and peace. The Bridge of Peace is not only a functional structure but also a symbolic monument. It embodies the connection between the old and modern parts of Tbilisi and serves as a metaphor for the city’s progress toward peace and unity. The bridge is a popular spot for both locals and tourists, offering stunning views of the city, including the nearby Narikala Fortress and the Presidential Palace.
The Peace Bridge in Tbilisi, Georgia, is located in the heart of the city, spanning the Kura River. Its futuristic design stands in sharp contrast to the surrounding historic architecture, making it a powerful symbol of Tbilisi’s dynamic blend of tradition and modernity.
Tbilisi is de hoofdstad en grootste stad van Georgië, gelegen in het oosten van het land aan de oevers van de rivier de Koera. De stad heeft een rijke geschiedenis die meer dan 1.500 jaar teruggaat en heeft door de eeuwen heen vele invloeden ondergaan van diverse culturen en beschavingen. Het oude gedeelte van Tbilisi, bekend om zijn charmante architectuur en unieke sfeer, is een van de meest fascinerende delen van de stad. De Vredesbrug is daar in tegen erg modern. Een modern architectonisch wonder en een van de meest herkenbare bezienswaardigheden van de stad. De brug, voltooid in 2010, is ontworpen door de Italiaanse architect Michele de Lucchi, met de verlichting ontworpen door de Franse lichtontwerper Philippe Martinaud. De brug overspant de rivier de Kura en verbindt de oude stad met de nieuwere wijken. Het is een voetgangersbrug en dient als een belangrijk symbool voor de stad. Het ontwerp van de brug is bijzonder opvallend, met een glazen overkapping die sierlijk over het wandelpad buigt. Deze overkapping, die vaak wordt vergeleken met een gigantische glazen golf of een zeewezen, is gemaakt van staal en glas en wordt 's nachts verlicht door duizenden LED-lichten. Deze verlichting creëert een adembenemend visueel spektakel en is zo geprogrammeerd dat het boodschappen in morsecode uitzendt, waarbij universele symbolen van leven en vrede worden weergegeven. De Vredesbrug is niet alleen een functioneel bouwwerk, maar ook een symbolisch monument. Het staat voor de verbinding tussen het oude en het moderne deel van Tbilisi en is een metafoor voor de vooruitgang van de stad naar vrede en eenheid. De brug is een populaire plek voor zowel de lokale bevolking als toeristen en biedt prachtige uitzichten over de stad, waaronder het nabijgelegen Narikala-fort en het presidentiële paleis. Het futuristische ontwerp van de brug contrasteert sterk met de historische architectuur eromheen, waardoor het een symbool is van Tbilisi's dynamische mix van traditie en moderniteit.

Have you ever thought about what would happen if you were crossing this bridge and suddenly a low-scale earthquake caused it to sway? Not even to collapse, but surely your entire life would pass in milliseconds through your mind. The people who wouldn't see you anymore, those on whom the bridge would fall, or the fact that at least this beautiful afternoon light was your end. Surely, once the tremor passed, you would think twice before crossing it again, maybe you would even change jobs. In this photo, the bridge between these two buildings is highlighted by the last light of the afternoon choosing to make its final appearance for the few eyes wanting to perceive it. A well-thought-out architectural feat or pure luck on the architects' part? In any case, it's fascinating that it happens. The other floors again create an abstraction of our constructions and how we position ourselves in urban spaces.
