If you still need the images, you can select the ones you want and I can send the original electronic files to you free of charge, as long as you give me credit for the photos! Anyway, email me and we can arrange things. Thanks for your interest in the Cheonggyecheon project and in my photos. Liane, I apologise for the late reply.

For that purpose we decided to enlighten the book with some international experiences like the Cheonggyecheon project . We are interested in some pictures that shows the region, before and after the intervention. We need to know how to obtain these pictures in a high resolution image and how much it costs? My name is Liane. Thank you Dear Sir

Absolutely no portion of the creek has been covered over. In 2005, for the first time in a quarter century, salmon were observed swimming unaided to just below the Niagara Escarpment. The Red Hill Valley Project in Hamilton Ontario Canada is one which it's citizens can be very proud, as defining the standard in sustainable infrastucture development. Delegations fron all over the world have been visiting Hamilton to view this marvel of environmental/hard engineering integration.

It's absolutely remarkable. I'm sure there are other examples of hidden streams being uncovered, but this is probably the only case in which a highway covering a stream has been so completely removed and replaced with such a gorgeous civic space. I can only imagine how pleasant it must be to wander through the city along the water. Much of Montreal is crisscrossed by old rivers and streams that have been built over. A large part of the city's southwest used to be a lake. I suppose the old streams must still run underground... I wonder if it would be possible to unearth a section of one.
