It's an exciting time to live in Sunderland, as the face of the city rapidly changes.
In a few years time the city will no doubt look completely different, with a range of new buildings, homes and architectural structures all being built and transforming the skyline. The vast changes that are on the horizon include a new footbridge spanning the River Wear, whole neighbourhoods, parks, a business district and a north-side venue crammed with local bars and businesses.
Major works are currently under way all over the city, and many of the changes are already clear to see, with a new City Hall already up and running, the demolition of the old Civic Centre well on its way, and the new train station nearing completion. The once derelict Vaux site - which stood empty for years, much to the annoyance of residents - is in the process of being completely revitalised, with the Riverside masterplan well under way.
