The final section of the park, where colossal statues designed in the communist style of Social Realism dominated through sheer size and stature, led to a tall red brick wall representing the dead end of dictatorships. "It's a remedy for all the bad thoughts Hungarians grew up with," said Holp, when I asked how Memento Park has influenced visitors' relationships with their communist past.

A former steel mill in Shanghai has been turned into an eco-park that includes a new thermo-electric waste-to-energy power plant, wetlands, an exhibition centre and offices. One of the last remaining industrial structures in the city's Luojing neighbourhood, the factory is a heritage site. Architects Kokaistudios kept its structure intact, fitting an independent modular system of panelling around the existing steel frame, "reimagining its rusting pipework and machinery as a design feature rather than a problem to be dealt with", according to Building for Change. The polycarbonate screens are reusable and lightweight, which "enables the interior spaces to be flexible in configuration, reducing costs and construction times for adaptations as the site develops and the users' needs change". They also mean that the site's appearance is transformed "from 'darkly overbearing' to 'warmly welcoming' – even at night, when the building glows from within".

Christmas trees are not included in the EU pledge to plant three billion additional trees by 2030, as they are considered too short lived. "They are cut down more often than timber harvest or, of course, natural old growth forests," says Paul Caplat, an ecologist at Queen's University Belfast. "So there's not a lot of time for biodiversity to settle in and grow healthy populations."

With some changes substantial and others merely cosmetic, the Ministry's vision is far from complete. Nevertheless, word of the Holy Family Trail is trickling out. In October 2022, I set out to trace its southward route, starting from the Nile Delta, to Cairo, and then finally into Upper Egypt where the Church of the Blessed Virgin is located.

Wind flowing across the Atlantic Ocean to western Ireland breaks along Connemara's mountains, bringing frequent rain that nurtures peat bog, a type of wetland where dead plant material doesn't decay, but instead slowly accumulates. Cut from the ground and dried, peat is a fuel that has kept Irish households warm, infused whisky with flavour for centuries and served as a custodian of Ireland's history.
