    what’s the sense in building a new city when’s there’s a perfectly derelict one there to fix

    For tens of billions of euros worth of highly valuable city center land I’m sure they’ll build a sea wall quite easily.

    The Netherlands have managed to reclaim, and secure, far lower lying land in far larger quantities. Its not that technically or financially prohibitive.

      …and also considering the amount of dosh funnelled through the docklands area, you may have a point.

      The port tunnel has another function, which is for the better off to skip the riff raff through scores of traffic lights.

      When I lived not far from the south docks I used it 10-15 times a year when numpties when traffic was bad (6 euros at the time for peak -> town, came down to 3 after a while), along with the west link toll bridge.

      Great to have a relatively free flowing path home when I didn’t feel like queuing with proletariat – well worth the 6-9 euro to get home at a reasonable time e.g. when it was snowing or if there was a big crash on the quays or something.
