Thames barrier
Article Abstract:
The UK government has set up the East Thames Task Force consisting of civil and public servants to plan a development strategy for the area. The East Thames corridor stretches from the Royal Docks in London to Tilbury in Essex and the Isle of Sheppey, Kent. The plan includes the building of 100,000 homes by 2015 and regeneration of contaminated industrial land. The government has promised funding of 4.5 billion pounds sterling for transport and 2.5 billion pounds sterling for the Channel Tunnel link. Private investment is vital.

Article Abstract:
The Polish construction industry has benefited greatly from the government's stringent economic reforms over recent years, and is now regarded as the most rapidly expanding construction industry in eastern Europe. Construction output is predicted to expand by 6.5% in 1995, with strong demand for housing, infrastructure, hotels and office buildings. Against this background, further strong growth is expected over the next decade.
