Open Doors offers a vital glimpse of the other side

摘要

This week more than 200 sites across the UK invited thousands of youngsters, local residents and construction enthusiasts for a glimpse behind the scenes. Millions of people walk past site hoardings every day,with few understanding what's happening on the other side. Site managers are usually more likely to get engagement from local residents angry at the creation of noise or dust than enquiring about jobs or the legacy the projects leave for communities, but Open Doors offers a different perspective. Schoolchildren, their teachers or people looking for work can take a rare look at the type of career construction can offer. Monday's site visits by CN staff were a perfect example of the varied work going on across the UK at present.
