A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Until the late 20th century, China was a rural society with an agrarian economy and had little experience of the urban. This elevated the city in the collective imagination to a miraculous mirage ‐ a utopian vision. Zhou Rong, Associate Professor at Tsinghua University School of Architecture, Beijing, and Assistant Mayor of Shuozhou, describes how China has learned, earned, consumed and ultimately suffered from this idealisation of the urban.
