The I‑375 Recon­nect­ing Com­mu­ni­ties Project in down­town Detroit is on pause to address con­cerns about its scale and repar­a­tive efforts.

Detroit’s I‑375 has received ini­tial fund­ing towards replac­ing the free­way with a boule­vard to pro­vide safer trans­porta­tion and increased com­mu­ni­ty sup­port. The I‑375 has had his­tor­i­cal impacts on down­town Detroit with its con­struc­tion in the 1950s and 1960s result­ing in demol­ish­ing pre­dom­i­nant­ly black com­mu­ni­ties. This pro­pos­al led by the State of Michi­gan and the City of Detroit aims to repair the com­mu­ni­ty, but some have con­cerns if DEI issues will be effec­tive­ly addressed.

In order to alle­vi­ate the traf­fic pres­sure of the Bospho­rus Canal, reduce the poten­tial risks of ships loaded with dan­ger­ous mate­ri­als, and pro­mote the country’s eco­nom­ic devel­op­ment, Istan­bul Canal will be built con­nect­ing Mara­ma Sea and the Black Sea. How­ev­er this project will cause inse­cu­ri­ty for Rus­sia, upset envi­ron­men­tal sta­bil­i­ty, pol­lute fresh­wa­ter resources and deplete land for peo­ple’s living.

Sasol announced a project of build­ing gas-to-liq­uid facil­i­ty and ethane crack­er in Lake Charles Louisiana after long-term nego­ti­a­tion with the Louisiana gov­ern­ment offi­cials. How­ev­er, its pol­lu­tion lev­el seems not to be as sat­is­fy­ing as it claims. What’s more, the relo­ca­tion of local res­i­dents in Mossville is insuf­fi­cient and racial­ly discriminative.
