The Case of the Beijing Western Hills, 1912-2012 By MANAGING HISTORIC MOUNTAIN LANDSCAPES NEAR A MODERN CITY: THE CASE OF THE BEIJING WESTERN HILLS, 1912-2012 BY ZHENG LI DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Landscape Architecture in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor D. Fairchild Ruggles, Chair Professor M. Elen Deming Associate Professor David L. Hays Professor Robert B. Olshansky Professor Emeritus Robert B. Riley Abstract During the period of 1912-2012, the Beijing Western Hills is of profound importance because at this scenic site occurred the first synthesis of the major landscape management instruments that now form Chinese public policy. From this synthesis emerged the Chinese city's modern relationship to its adjacent hillside areas in particular and China's new relationship with the natural world in general, both of which evolved over a time period of both global and national changes in technology and political philosophy. Relying on textual analysis and extensive fieldwork, the dissertation characterizes five dimensions of landscape management problems at the Western Hills in relation to the modern development of urban Beijing. These are 1) architectural and landscape design; 2) city planning; 3) hydraulic engineering; 4) forestry; and 5) cultural heritage management. These disciplinary efforts emerged as procedures and methods for solving common problems posed by the new relationship between the city and its adjacent rugged terrains, reshaping the physical landscape and leading to the institutionalization of landscape management and the professionalization of a new class of experts as seen today. While the disciplinary solutions did solve many old problems, some of them have caused new ones. The study also reveals that the Beijing Western Hills is not just a singular case, but rather it is where Chinese official ideas about landscape planning, design, and management were developed, and thus it is a crucible for evolving interpretations of the Chinese landscape and methods for managing it. All these are analyzed within a theoretical framework of modernity in order to identify potential policy and design approaches for the present. ii Acknowledgements Funds for my doctoral study and dissertation writing came from two sources. The Department of Landscape Architecture at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) provided me tuition waivers and living stipends in the forms of fellowship, teaching assistantship, and research assistantship. Meanwhile the China Scholarship Council (CSC) awarded me a scholarship in the academic years 2009-2013, which covered my international airfares and additional living stipends. I was also fortunate to receive a few departmental awards, such as the Natalie Alpert Prize and Pauline Tilton Kennedy Fellowship. My most profound appreciation goes to my kind-hearted advisor Professor D. Fairchild Ruggles who has guided me through my doctoral study. Her breadth of knowledge, clarity of instinct, and exacting stardards have helped shape my research, which was too ambiguous and big at the beginning. Dede has so patiently facilitated my dissertation writing by correcting grammatic errors, elaborating expressions, clarifying arguments and structures, and commenting on ideas. She introduced me to the study of landscape history and theory as well as cultural heritage, encouraging me to look ahead to future studies after graduation. Dede has been the best of role models from whom I learned how to be a great scholar, teacher, and person. I would like to acknowledge my advisory committee at UIUC: M. Elen Deming, David L. Hays, and Robert B. Olshansky. Robert Riley, although retired from teaching as Professor Emeritus of Landscape Architecture, continued as a mentor and gave me valued advice on the field of American ordinary landscape studies. They together offered iii key insights on my topic, suggested documents I might otherwise have missed, and gave my dissertation a critical reading. I thank them for their time and interest, and their questions and ideas will continue to inspire me in the years that follow. Other faculty members at UIUC, both within and outside the department of Landscape Architecture, also generously offered intellectual stimulations and daily help. I am grateful to the staff at the Beijing Municipal Archives, the Capital Library of China, and the National Library of China, whose generous hospitality and intellectual guidance were of great help to me in the first half of the year 2013. During that crucial period of my archival research, they assisted me in searching and acquiring a great number of original documents without which my research would be incomplete and less coherent. I have also profited from coversations with others in China, including particularly Liu Xiao (刘晓)— a respected researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences who shared his research and knowledge of the Sino-French University— and Li Xiong (李雄)— my former graduate advisor at the Beijing Forestry University who helped linked my doctoral research to a future career. Last but not least important, a different kind of thanks for the periods of preoccupation go to my parents— Li Aimin (李爱民) and Xu Fengji (徐凤姬)— and my wife Pei Xin (裴欣). They have accompanied me on this long journey, and I am indebted to them for their support and forbearance. I dedicate the work to them. iv Table of Contents List of Figures & Tables..........................................................................................................................vii Chronology of Beijing History & Note on Translation ...............................................................xiv 1.

Introduction In the framework of sustainable development, how does a formerly manufacturing dominated city restructure its industry and towards what direction? This question is often asked in China. The practice is extremely different across the country due to geographical and unbalanced development. This study focuses on the district of Shijingshan, a big contributor to both air pollution and industrial GDP of Beijing. When talking about Shijingshan, people often think of the large steel plant and the Babaoshan cemetery. The former is a complex of steel plant, power plant, machinery, and construction materials and stretches up to 5 km long and two 2 km wide. The latter is a selected cemetery for the central government to condole veterans of former revolutionary battles. The main so-called tourists to the district are peoples who offer sacrifices at and come to the ancestral tomb on the day of Pure Brightness, the 5th of 24 solar terms per year, the traditionally observed Chinese festival for worshipping the ancestral grave. The Shijngshan Recreation Center’s completion attracted some kids and their accompanying parents to spend some time there.

While possibly no capital city in the world is being renewed so intensely as Beijing, which presents both enormous potential and threat. Intrinsic to this research is a concept that the design culture of a city is formed largely by the national character, aesthetic value and culture distinctive to that city; these are the soil of design culture which merit careful observation and description.

  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.

Wprowadzanie nowoczesnych obiektów (budynków, konstrukcji) w otoczenie o historycznym rodowodzie niejednokrotnie wywołuje silne społeczne emocje i wąt- pliwości (dysonans przestrzenny). Końcowy efekt w dużym stopniu zależy od skali i jakości architektonicznej obiektu, trafności wybranej lokalizacji i atrakcyjności pełnionych funkcji. Podstawą badań były autorskie obserwacje terenowe, przeprowadzone w latach 2012–2016, w pełni sezonu turystycznego (wiosna-wczesna jesień). Słowa kluczowe: parki zabytkowe, nowe funkcje użytkowo-edukacyjne, nowoczesne elementy programowe ABSTRACT This article presents 6 historical public parks (including former residential and botanical gardens) located in Poland, England and Germany exploring ways in which they have been expanded with new didactic and scientific program elements. Introduction of modern facilities (buildings, structures) into historical surroun- dings is often met with distrust and concern of local communities (spatial dissonance). Final result to a large extent depends on architectural scale and quality of a particular object, selection of proper location and appeal of its utility.
