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.

  • Economic Analysis of the Beijing Green Olympics: Implications on Environmental Protection in China
    www.ccsenet.org/ijef International Journal of Economics and Finance Vol. 2, No. 3; August 2010 Economic Analysis of the Beijing Green Olympics: Implications on Environmental Protection in China Kui Yin Cheung Department of Economics, Lingnan University Tuen Mun, N.T. Hong Kong E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The rapid economic development and motorization in the last three decades in Beijing has resulted in the deterioration of Beijing’s air quality. Since 1998, the Beijing municipal government has made a great effort to improve Beijing’s air quality, resulting in significant progress in reducing air pollution in Beijing. However, the air quality is still below the international health standard, especially the particular matter, PM10. This could be a challenge to the Government’s promise of clean air during the 2008 Olympics. The objective of this paper is to evaluate, using cost/benefit approach, the measures that Beijing has taken to achieve the goal of a Green Olympics. This paper can have important implications for designing environmental strategies during China’s economic transition. Keywords: Green Olympics, Environmental Protection, Cost/benefit analysis. 1. Introduction The rapid economic development and modernization experienced by Beijing and its inhabitants during the recent three decades have resulted in a deterioration of Beijing's air quality. One phenomenon or factor that has contributed to this condition is motorization, wherein the number of motorized vehicles used by Beijing's growing population and expanding economy has risen enormously. Since 1998, Beijing's municipal government has made an extensive effort to improve Beijing’s air quality, resulting in significant progress in reducing air pollution in Beijing.

Specifically, a standard package tour program of Beijing is established and then analyzed in spatial and 2 temporal terms, the result of which is further mapped by using a weighted mean center technique.

  • Beijing Transformed (Again): an Exploration of the 2008 Olympic Building Program—Eroding the 'Figure' of a City Or Opening Public Ground?
    URBAN TRANSFORMATION: CONTROVERSIES, CONTRASTS and CHALLENGES BEIJING TRANSFORMED (AGAIN): AN EXPLORATION OF THE 2008 OLYMPIC BUILDING PROGRAM—ERODING THE 'FIGURE' OF A CITY OR OPENING PUBLIC GROUND? JENNIFER SMIT Address:PhD Candidate, University of Tasmania, Australia e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The scope and scale of Beijing’s 2008 Olympics mega-projects are an unprecedented example of the transformation of large portions of an ancient city for the explicit purpose of providing ground for venues and their associated public arenas. This paper will review the discourse surrounding the building program where debate focuses on the prioritizing of political agendas to reconstruct the image of contemporary China. I will argue that the controversy surrounding Beijing’s transformation needs to be viewed in the broader context of understanding the break-neck pace of modernization throughout Asia—a context that surfaces polarized views on the nature of the new urban terrains being generated. I present an optomistic view of the potential for the vast new park provided by the Olympic domain to create a significant public surface for Beijingers. I argue that this potential is mediated by three paradoxes presented by the Olympic refiguring of urban and national identity in China. INTRODUCTION “Beijing presents itself as a border condition in which an accelerated rate of change gives way to hybrid conditions that coexist at a magnified level: preservation and modernization; the low horizontal city of the hutong, and the vertical city
