With an unusual alternative to indoor movie theatres in the time of COVID-19, Paris Plages has this year opened with an open-air cinema set on the banks of the River Seine. Paris Plages is an annual event that transforms sections of the River Seine waterfront into beachfront. This year organisers MK2 Cinemas partnered with the city of Paris for the event. Great example of collaboration.<\/p>\n Coming September White Castle will become the nation’s first fast food brand to deploy a robotic fry-master, known as Flippy.

For FitzPark, which is located in the nearby Windmill Street, they transformed a delivery bay on a busy urban street into a parklet containing seating and planters for local residents, employees and visitors to enjoy. It is designed and delivered by Arup\u2019s Landscape Architecture team and the parklet demonstrates how small spaces can be adapted to provide people-friendly uses. This promotes health and wellbeing and encourages people to walk, cycle and spend more time outdoors.
