  • This house, as the government of the city of Cologne, W abandon the UNESCO World Heritage status of the Dome in favor of building residential housing

    Infoslide

    The Dome of Cologne is a UNESCO-World Heritage site that attracts significant tourism and funding related to its heritage status. Funding is used for the (necessary and significant) upkeep of the Dome, as well as infrastructure and social projects. The archdioscese of Cologne (one of the most powerful and wealthy archdiosceses in the Catholic Church) has given buildings they own to the city under the requirement the Dome's status be upheld. UNESCO sites are required to be easily visible, and consequently, Cologne is limited in expanding the city and had to issue a ban on high rise buildings. Cologne is one of the largest cities in Germany, has Germany's largest university, and outpaced demand has caused rent prices to quickly increase.

  • From behind the veil of ignorance, this house would choose to be born in Rapture."

    Infoslide

    The “Veil of Ignorance” is a thought experiment in political philosophy, in which we make a choice, without knowing our position in society, i.e., despite knowing how society is, but not who we would be once born. || Rapture is a city outside out of the jurisdiction of any nation, and it can't have any contact with the outside world. In the Rapture there are no laws and formal rules.

The Hundred will be shown on the BBC, with traditional cricket coverage to remain on Sky Sports.
