reader Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Japan's NHK news reports that the Bangkok city government plans to redevelop the Klong Toey slums, and this has many residents on edge. Although they've been promised alternative accommodations, many fear that they'll simply be displaced as high-rise condos go up. The home to about 100,000, the slums occupy a space near a major subway stop and the Chao Phraya River. The report appeared as part of news acount praising a local developer for installing two unique soccer pitches within Klong Toey. Their design makes the field conform to the available space, a concept named one of the top 25 innovations in 2016 by Time magazine. http://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/editors/1/bangkoksinnovativesoccerfields/ ChristianPFC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
