Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, is preparing to radically reconstruct its railway station, and this week called on architects from around the world to submit proposals.
The task is huge, and involves redesigning not just Vilnius railway station, but the central station square that stands in front of the building as well as the adjacent public transport terminal.
“Our goal is that any person who arrives by train or bus to Vilnius immediately sees that it is a vibrant city of the future,” says Remigijus Šimašius, the mayor of Vilnius. “I hope that many bold ideas will be submitted, which would allow this ambition to be realised.”

While Argentina legalized abortion on demand until fourteen weeks after gestation and the United States has inaugurated what will unquestionably be a very pro-abortion presidency, Poland has bucked the international pro-abortion trend as its Constitutional Court has declared abortion in the case of “fetal malformation” unconstitutional. Poles encouraged by this victory cannot wallow in complacent satisfaction, however. Poland’s government must make haste in increasing state support for Poles with disabilities, while the Church and pro-life organizations have to start an aggressive campaign of educating society about abortion, a difficult task given the huge financial and political clout of the global pro-abortion movement. The 1990s, however, prove that they can do this.
