Land reclamations in your city?

Are there parts of your city undergoing or have undergone land reclamations? This is trend happening to many cities worldwide especially coastal ones.

HK is one example that has undergone massive land reclamations. Because of limited land, large population and a booming economy, massive reclamations are needed for new projects, infrastructure and developments. Such examples are the waterfronts in the north parts of HK Island, Western Kowloon, Lantau and the north parts of The New Territories.
