urbane November 2008
As all Urbane readers know, a helmet and road goggles can only protect so much. As Beijing’s Olympic dreamy traffic restrictions fade into ever-dimmer memory, this month’s “Car Crunch” feature takes a look at some potential solutions for Beijing’s gnashing gridlock.
That’s just the beginning, of course, of another rich cache of Urbane inquest. This issue also features the SZ Art Center in 798, the spectacular new Aman Beijing by the Summer Palace, as well as the story of large-scale forced migration on the Qinghai plateau, the designer behind SQY-T’s innovative “Skin of the City” series of apparel, architect Zhang Lei’s stylish-but-simple brick house designs in Jiangxi province, the boldness of Chinese *Internet vigilantes*, Xu Bing’s Forest Project in Kenya and much more. How did Guiyang, go from being the worst polluted city in the world to a model of the environmentally friendly “circular economy” concept? Read on.
