Heeren Street which is also known as the ‘First Class Gentlemen Street’ or the ‘Millionaires Row’, is a road with double storey houses similar to that of the modern terrace houses, but much longer. The houses portray a rich and detailed mix of Chinese, European and Peranakan architecture. Till today, the Peranakans (Baba Nyonyas) do live in them, making this a living heritage, though there are also some being turned into galleries, cafes, hotels and eateries.

    In the book Old Fraserburgh by George Allan Dey, there is a collection of photographs of High Street spanning as far back as the 1880’s. Although today many of the buildings remain unchanged, it becomes evident that the fluidity of consumer needs has played the biggest part over the years in the shaping and reshaping of the street. Interestingly, among the photographs are several buildings on High Street which were bombed during the Second World War. (Fraserburgh was bombed heavily during the War due to the production of ammunition there). It gives the harsh reality that even though we are lucky enough to live in a stable society now a days, High Street was once made and remade against a much more sinister and violent backdrop.…

    Even though both City Road and High Street are over 200 years old and began as just country lanes, they have very different layouts. City Road is much longer with complex junctions and High Street is only 20 meters long with a simple layout. High Street is, though, one of the major roads through the village lined with a few businesses such as a police station, post office, pub, café and chip shop, shoe shop, pharmacy, health centre, a library and hairdressers. It is most busy during the day with the pub and chip shop attracting customers in the evening.…

    Firstly, I will compare Abington Street, and how it has changed to City Road. Abington Street used to be the main thoroughfare to the town centre, with a tram running down the centre of the street creating “invisible order”, nowadays the street remains invisibly ordered but is used differently as it is now completely pedestrianised. It is both a daytime shopping zone and a night time social space. Meanwhile City Road has changed from a simple country road to a busy town through road, however similarities still exist with Abington Street as both are now shopping and social spaces, as City Roads 1960’s car showrooms, have been replaced by shops, cafes, takeaways and restaurants designed for a wide range of people.…

    City Road is a busy street in Cardiff. It has a variety of businesses and residents, creating dynamics which change according to the time of day. Many of the businesses are shops, such as Xquisite Africa which caters to the ethnic residents who have felt in the past that their needs were not met. There are also restaurants and takeaways that thrive at night, the majority of customers being local students and young people living in the area. The Making Social Lives DVD shows local resident Lloyd Robson talking to people who have access to City Road and it highlights differences in people's experiences and perceptions. Whilst a street is a relatively small area there are some people who benefit more than others from aspects of the street; it's infrastructure, such as street furniture and facilities, such as restaurants and clubs. There are some people who are actively disadvantaged by these same features and these can become inequalities. I would like to describe how certain people in society experience inequalities in City Road and give examples.…

    Macau has developed its tourism sector when there was a rapid growth on the gaming industry since the 70s. However, there is no longer a comprehensive tourism planning at that time. It was until 1980s, the Portuguese government has tried to preserve the cultural influence over Macau after 1999. By preserving the mixture of Eastern and Western cultures in Macau, it paved the way for the development of cultural tourism in Macau. Nowadays, the development of cultural heritage tourism is significantly successful. The culture of Macau is not merely gaming but the East-West cultural pluralism. Its successfulness in preserving the cultural heritage can be clearly shown when Macao’s Heritage (“The Historic Centre of Macao”) has features on World Heritage List in 2005. This highly facilitated the development of Macau’s Cultural Heritage Tourism. In this report, the development and management of Macau’s cultural heritage tourism will be examined.…
