Brighton seems to be moving toward further achievements in a determined and straightforward way. Recently, an advanced library was built in the North Laine district for the new Cultural Quarter. Two state-of-the-art hotels are planned to be erected here and in the new Urbal Village, in Brighton Station's vicinity.

The mast will be equipped with an aerodynamic pod designed for 100 people, which will go 492ft (150m) high up, so that people can admire the breath-taking panoramic view of the city and the boundless expanses of sea. Its opening is planned for summer 2008.
