Post-Event Cities

摘要

Planning 'events' such as the 19th-century foreign concessions in the sink ports and the late 20th-century Special Economic Zones (SEZs) have proved an important catalyst for development in China. Professor Zhi Wenjun, chief editor of Time + Architecture magazine, and architect Liu Yuyang look at how the 2008 Beijing Olympics and 2010 Shanghai World Expo are redefining urbanism in China and raising significant questions about the sustainability of the post-event city.
