1. New canals were dug and 21st-century canal houses were built.
2. Historical buildings were renovated by the city.
3. Architects were charged with new designs by construction companies.
4. Many apartment complexes were designed by architects.
5. This is in passive voice. Active voice would be: Francis Ford Coppola wrote the movie.
