EXPO-rewind 1: Alovera I. The project that kickstarted all of this. Alovera Beach, another attempt at resolving the never-ending Madrileño lament of "no tener playa" (not having a beach), has been marred with administrative and financial difficulties that made it the talk of the press, but has anyone looked into the impact this project could have elsewhere? Check out the investigation I did with Stefanie Laredo about this megaproject on al-expo.cargo.site. (I can't believe I'm putting hashtags here but oh well, just ignore it) #aloverabeach #megaprojects #design #designresearch

#Citybranding The long-term effects of a mega-event are not always easy to measure. This is because the outcome is more of a feeling than a data-driven set of statistics. It boosts a city’s sense of purpose because it spurs on that metropolis to be the best it can be. The 1889 Paris Exposition Universelle saw the construction of the Eiffel Tower, which became an iron icon of economic prosperity following a period of financial malaise. Then the Grand Palais and the ornate Alexandre III bridge were built for the city’s Universal Exposition in 1900. These landmarks signify more than France’s flair for designing highly decorative buildings; they showed the French capital’s status as a European superpower, politically and culturally. This year more than €1bn was put aside to clean up the Seine for swimming (a task that many politicians have previously found impossible to achieve). In 2001, Athens built the Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport in just 51 months. The project had been talked about for several years but leaders used the justification of hosting the 2004 Olympic Games to make the investment. We need to think of these events as nation and city branding – as a platform to enhance the way a place is perceived. These are exercises that can boost an economy, tourism and confidence for many years after. Paris should seize the potential for change when the Games come to town this Friday.

Street Art chasers, here is a sample. About 100 images this is a sample, yes there are more, so do I. Some of the art images in the video are no longer available because of construction or remodeling of buildings. https://lnkd.in/gRmC7gd8 Puerto Vallarta #tourism #travel #travelblogger #travelguide #traveltips #travelvideo

🌟 Why Virtual Tours Are Transforming Property Listings in 2023 - 2024 🌟 In today’s fast-paced, tech-driven market, real estate professionals need tools that not only grab attention but also convert interest into action. Over the past 24 months, virtual tours have proven to be a standout tool making waves in the real estate industry. Why? 📈 Boosted Visibility & Engagement: Properties with virtual tours receive up to 87% more views than those with only photos. Buyers are more inclined to explore a property in depth when given the opportunity to navigate it interactively. 💸 Qualified Leads & Faster Sales: Virtual tours help filter out casual browsers, attracting serious buyers who have already previewed the space online. This means less time showing the property and a shorter sales cycle overall. 🏅 A Competitive Edge: Agencies offering high quality 360-degree tours stand out as industry leaders. They project trust, innovation, and client centric service, often commanding higher bids and fostering stronger relationships with tech savvy clients. 🤝 Remote Buying Made Possible: Virtual tours expand your audience reach to out of town and international buyers, enabling them to make confident purchasing decisions without physically visiting the property. The question isn’t whether to adopt virtual tours, but how quickly you can integrate them into your listings to stay ahead. 🔑 Takeaway: Investing in virtual tours isn’t just a trend; it’s a strategic move that’s here to stay, enhancing buyer experience and streamlining the sales process. Take a walk around this virtual tour we created for a private client in the southwest of Mallorca 👇 Remarkably, this listing has already garnered 218% more views and 38% more enquiries compared to other listings uploaded to similar platforms during the same week. https://lnkd.in/ewg7ix7H #MediaProduction #Property #MarketingContent #VideoProduction #AerialVideography #VirtualTours #Yachting #Tourism #CGI #3D #MotionBalearics #Mallorca #Ibiza #Menorca

🌐 Dream or Reality? Concerns Grow as World Expo Hit with New Delays ⏰ With less than six months to go before the 2025 World Expo in Osaka, significant concerns are emerging regarding the timely completion of the event's iconic timber structures, including the impressive Grand Ring Roof. As construction delays mount, the viability of this ambitious project is increasingly in question. 🔎 What You Need to Know: 1️⃣ Construction Challenges: The construction of 157 pavilions, including the 12-meter-high “Ring Skywalk” and the surrounding exhibits, is reportedly months behind schedule. As organizers grapple with slow ticket sales—only 7 million of the 14 million target have been sold—questions arise about the Expo's future success. 2️⃣ Rising Costs and Political Tensions: The overall cost of the Expo has soared past $1.6 billion, nearly double the original estimate. Concerns about labour shortages and political infighting further complicate the situation, casting doubt on the project's overall purpose and sustainability in a rapidly changing world. 3️⃣ Iconic Timber Architecture: The Grand Ring Roof, constructed from timber sourced from Namie, Fukushima, represents not just an architectural feat but also a symbol of resilience, as it incorporates traditional Japanese building techniques. After the Expo, the structure is expected to serve a new purpose as part of a resort island that includes Japan's first casino. 🔗 To learn more about the Grand Ring Roof and the ongoing developments for Expo 2025, click here: https://lnkd.in/giXX57wx 🗣️ #questionforgroup: What strategies can be implemented to overcome the delays and challenges facing large-scale projects like the World Expo?
