It is horribly depressing and unhealthy place to grow up and these children are pale and yet seem happy, with smiles on their faces. The famous steel works can be seen reflected in the puddle before them. After the war, Stalin decided to build an industrial Communist fantasy just outside Krakow: a model town and immense steelworks of the future. The steelworks was named after Lenin and the town would be called Nowa Huta  - or, the new steel mill. At its peak, 27,000 people worked at the Lenin Steelworks. But Solidarity grew strong forcing strikes over pay and recognition over their union. Today, it is an economic and ecological disaster area.

A woman jogger crosses the road and the street beyond is about to change before a new housing project starts. Homes alongside London's iconic Battersea power station have gone on sale, three years before the first one will be ready to move into.

  • A woman walks past a large yellow car park sign on street in Shoreditch, East London. Striding across the road, the lady wears a white skirt and espadrilles with high heels. It is later in the afternoon on this warm summer's day and the sun has partly covered the yellow sign with its black lettering, written as one word rather than the normal two. Otherwise, the street is empty of other pedestrians but this area is undergoing massive regeneration thanks to the new Crossrail project, a part of which is seen as a concrete overpass for trains in the background.
