NEWS World’s largest eco-theme park coming to Indonesia
Work is underway on what is being billed as “the world’s largest eco-theme park” – a US$240m (E202.2m, £158.5m) development – called Funtasy Island – which will be located on Indonesia’s Riau Islands, near Singapore. Set to open in late 2015, eight key “eco- zones” are currently under construction in the 3sq km (1.2sq m) development, including a multi-sensory rainforest. There will also be land- and river-based safaris, snorkel and scuba zones, an interactive dolphin habitat and an aquarium where guests will be able to swim with whale sharks.
The attraction – designed by WOW Design Studio – will also be home to a limited number of private villas in addition to a hotel and spa. Apartments, 1,200 holiday villas, adventure and watersports, shopping, dining and live entertainment will complete the mix. Developer, Funtasy Island Development Pte Ltd, says 70 per cent of the land will remain in its natural state. Eco-themed activities will include aquaculture tours in the surrounding waters and nature trails allowing visitors to explore the island.

increased traffic has been affecting the town of Hamburg – the solution is to send a stretch of the road underground. Reinhard Schier, from Hamburg’s Ministry of Urban Development and Environment, said:
“Our plan is to reunite the west and the east of the city, which have been separated by the road. Once completed, there will be peace, gardens, bird song, and clean air.” Spanning a two mile (3.2km) section of the

Construction will begin on the first two autobahn covers later in 2015, with completion expected by 2022. The A7 will be expanded during the process, with some sections increas- ing to eight lanes. The total cost will be E775m (£590m, US$890m).
