Building the Future
Thursday, June 14, 2007
You may have noticed we really like to post about people, ideas, and projects that have a local connection. However, it would be a disservice if we were to ignore issues and ideas that, while not distinctly local, still have an impact on our lives here in the Upper Midwest. Last Sunday, Discovery Channel aired the first installment of it's exciting new four part series, "Building the Future." Much like Solutions Twin Cities (albeit on a grander scale), the series is aimed at highlighting past, present, and future solutions to many of todays biggest issues; Energy, Shelter, Climate Change, and Water. The series takes you around the world for an informational and inspirational look at some of the grandest and most meaningful undertakings in human history - such as a solar tower, water theater, and fusion technology.
The "Building the Future" website offers more about the series, including video clips, an image gallery, and television listings.

The Thames Link barriers are rather impressive. What's even more impressive is the green park that's adjacent to them which went over an old brown field site. It's still a little far out from the city, but the Dockland area is seeing a huge revamp in urban redevelopment, and with the Olympic site in the same area, this should be a largely improved in the near future.
