In it, I present a global view of the Buddhist revival of the Mongol monasteries of Hohhot since the 1980s, with a focus on the material culture—architecture, cult objects, and “decoration”—of the sites.

  • CREATING LIVABLE ASIAN CITIES Edited by Bambang Susantono and Robert Guild
    CREATING LIVABLE ASIAN CITIES Edited by Bambang Susantono and Robert Guild APRIL ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK Book Endorsements Seung-soo Han Former Prime Minister of the Republic of Korea Creating Livable Asian Cities comes at a timely moment. The book emphasizes innovative technologies that can overcome challenges to make the region’s cities better places to live and grow. Its approach encourages stronger urban institutions focused on all people in every community. The book will inspire policy makers to consider concrete measures that can help cities ‘build back better,’ in other words, to be more resilient and able to withstand the next crisis. In the post-pandemic period, livable Asian cities are a public good, just as green spaces are. Following this credo, however, requires Asia to invest in creating livable cities so they can fulfil their potential as avenues of innovation, prosperity, inclusiveness, and sustainability. In this book, Asian Development Bank experts map the challenges facing cities in the region. Its five priority themes—smart and inclusive planning, sustainable transport, sustainable energy, innovative financing, and resilience and rejuvenation—illuminate a path for urbanization in Asia over the next decade. This book will lead us to the innovative thinking needed to improve urban life across the region. Maimunah Modh Sharif Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director, United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) Creating Livable Asian Cities addresses various urban development challenges and offers in-depth analysis and rich insights on urban livability in Asia from an urban economics perspective. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is well-placed to review the investment needs of cities that will contribute to sustainable development.

  • Analysis on Spatial Pattern of Financial Service Facilities and Tourist Reception Facilities in Hohhot Central Urban Area
    2019 4th International Social Sciences and Education Conference (ISSEC 2019) Analysis on Spatial Pattern of Financial Service Facilities and Tourist Reception Facilities in Hohhot Central Urban Area Zhaoxiang Qin1, Wei Zhang1, 2 1Tourism College of Inner Mongolia Normal University, Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, 010022, China 2College of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou, Gansu, 730000, China Keywords: Hohhot central urban area, Financial service facilities, Tourist reception facilities, Spatial pattern. Abstract: With the development of urban tourism, tourists become one of service objects of urban financial facilities and infuse new vitality for the development of urban financial industry. This paper takes the tourist city Hohhot for example and adopts standard deviational ellipse method and nearest neighbor analysis to analyze spatial distribution pattern of self-service banks and tourist reception facilities. The analysis results show that in the research field, spatial distribution pattern of self-service banks has very strong agglomeration feature. Spatial agglomeration of economical hotels is similar to that of self-service banks, but agglomeration of middle and high star-level hotels is not obvious, presenting spatial pattern of random distribution. The scenic spots mainly concentrate in southwestern region of the city. Thus, urban tourist consumption service supply system oriented to tourist demand in which the government, market and enterprises participate should be constructed. 1. Introduction Self-service banks are convenient service windows which are set up to meet financial service demand of local residents and various units. Take Hohhot City for example. According to the author’s survey in Hohhot, although e-payment development provides convenience for tourist consumption, tourists still have different degree of small and convenient banking activities.

Ltd (BJ Metro) has renewed and extended its advertising contract for the 9 central lines of the Beijing Metro for 20 years. Based in the Chinese capital, a city of over 20 million inhabitants, this JV, since its acquisition in 2006, has managed advertising for the 9 central Beijing Metro lines. After acquiring a stake in Clear Media, JCDecaux is continuing to reinforce its presence in China’s domestic market. It will hold the advertising contract for the 9 central lines until 2040, with currently 8,500 lightboxes and 160 digital screens, which reached a daily audience of 10.5 million passengers in 2019. Beijing is still recovering from the effect of COVID-19 where precautious health measures continue to affect the movements of its inhabitants though Beijing Metro has regained in the last weeks a daily audience around 6 million passengers. JCDecaux will hold significant influence at the end of this period of renewal, with 33% of the JV. At the same time, the JV has founded a new entity in Hohhot, a city of 2.9 million inhabitants and capital of the autonomous region of Inner Mongolia. Owned 51% by the JV and 49% by Hohhot metro, this entity holds an exclusive 15-year advertising contract for the first two lines of this metro: the recently opened line 1 and line 2, which is set to open in the second half of 2020.
