  • The Oriental Pearl Tower (left) and Jin Mao Building (right) rise up, glowing in the distance in Pudong, Shanghai, and China’s centralised financial district. Skyline across the low-rise traditional Chinese housing in the foreground of Nanpudaqiao through the high-rise developments, offices and apartment buildings right across downtown, this vision of capitalism and modernity against traditional sums up the colossal development of this ‘Paris of the East’ as Shanghai was once known. In ten years the city has gone from 2-3 story housing as far as the eye can see to this rising metropolis. So much air pollution and light pollution from buildings, construction, cars and lighting up makes the whole city glow.

  • A tall man looks down at shorter women as they walk through winter sunlight down Abchurch Lane, EC4, in the City of London. As he walks one way, the threesome make their along the lane the other way. They walk side-by-side and their shadows stretch long across the road towards the junction. The man seems to be admiring the girls or perhaps he knows them and is saying hello. Strong shadows can be seen on the walls of this narrow medieval lane, first mentioned as Abbechurche Lane in 1291.

  • A detail of Health and Safety cones, taping off a broken City of London bollard. Three plastic cones, taller than the traffic versions, stand on the kerbside near double-yellow no parking lines. The tape joins them together as a pointless gesture, adhering to exaggerated H&S safety laws. Passing pedestrians are urged to exercise caution in case they trip and sue the borough.

  • Surrounded by black bin-bags during the Merseyside dustmans' strike of 1991, two young "Scouse' girls lean against a brick wall in a rear alleyway between poor terraced housing in Liverpool, England. There is an older, taller white teenage girl with blonde hair dressed in a blue shell-suit and a shorter and younger friend of Asian-descent. Looking suspicious and amused at something across the cobbled alley of these 'back to back' houses in a poor area, South of the city centre, home to deprived families. The industrial action aginst the local authority was a health problem for Liverpool during the summer of '91 when streets filled with rubbish. Vermin like rats ran around and public city parks filled with every kind of refuse and garbage. Few of these back-to-backs exist after being cleared to allow construction of high-rise tower-blocks and flats.

  • Two pedestrians walk beneath a motorists' Congestion Zone sign on a London street. Seen from the top deck of a bus, we see from an aerial perspective the two men passing each other beneath the taller blue sign which line the capital’s congestion zone, a traffic charging area ringing inner London, the boundary of the zone introduced in February 2007 to ease vehicle numbers and pollution and generate extra revenue for transport issues. The bright blue sign tells us that 2 miles down the road, the charge comes into effect from 7am to 6pm, weekdays.
