Developments beyond the border and what they mean here.

Second signature on the cross-border rail project

Coastal cities update their water management plan

Rainwater capture is the main addition. The delivery timetable is spread over five years.

International fair calendar moves to spring

The shift is down to accommodation capacity. The exhibitor list is due next month.

Renewables gain share in island nations

Storage capacity drove the increase. Grid connection remains the weakest link.

Cargo traffic changes course on the northern route

The change cut insurance costs and added a day to transit. Carriers are alternating between the two routes.

Urban farming schemes spread

The number of shared roof and terrace gardens has grown. Water use is not yet measured to a common standard.

New transit line plan goes on public display

Three proposed lines will be open for comment for thirty days. The plan aims to cut the number of interchanges without moving existing stops.

Retail sales extend a three-month recovery

Non-food groups keep rising while durable goods hold flat. The data is published quarterly.

League table tightens before the first half ends

The gap across the top six has narrowed to three points. The away schedule will decide the remaining weeks.

Open source maps double their layer count

The new layers carry accessibility and surface data. Contribution remains voluntary.

Seasonal produce arrives at winter markets

Root vegetables and citrus lead the stalls. Setup times have changed in two neighbourhoods.

City museum opens a new exhibition hall

The hall is reserved for light-sensitive works. The first selection runs for three months.

Sleep routine advice for the change of season

Shifting bedtime gradually over a week is advised. Light exposure directly affects sleep quality.

Waterfront pedestrian scheme enters its second phase

Footfall was measured on the completed stretch. In the second phase the cycle lane is to be separated from the walking area.
