Placewatch

Placewhat?

Placewatch. A place to watch places change.

Houses, roads, bridges, monuments, parks, railways. Bike lanes, pedestrian crossings, murals. Whatever.

New constructions. Reconstructions. Renovations. Demolitions.

Only top projects make the headlines. Some smaller ones steal the show for a moment and receive no press coverage afterwards. Others never get in the limelight.

Some stay delayed for years to decades, then suddenly return out of the blue. Others remain promised since forever. Most of the activity happens far from our daily routes.

More often than not information is scattered over the Internet.

Let’s try to collect it and see where it goes.

Starting from Riga, going worldwide.
