This decision required the state government to exercise the matching, politically speaking, hard option to relocate its seat of governance along with all its important offices to this new city, and completely stop the backbay reclamation project in the island city. It did nothing of the sort. It continued with the reclamation and put brakes on the efforts of CIDCO (such as the shifting of wholesale markets).
Problem w tym, że nie mogę znaleźć w słownikach tłumaczenia słowa backbay. Słowo reclamation ma wiele znaczeń, w sumie nie wiem które występuje tutaj. Początek jest dla mnie niezrozumiały.
