It's a sight to behold. Just off Lagos, Nigeria's coast, an artificial island is emerging from the sea. A foundation, built of sand dredged from the ocean floor, stretches over ten kilometres. Promotional videos depict what is to come: a city of soaring buildings, housing for 250,000 people, and a central boulevard to match Paris' Champs-Élysées and New York's Fifth Avenue.

Το Μάντσεστερ δίνει το παράδειγμα
«Δεν υπάρχει περίπτωση να αποπειραθείς να χτίσεις ένα εργοστάσιο διαχείρισης απορριμμάτων κάπου και να μη συναντήσεις διαμαρτυρίες.
