The Understanding of Beijing Cultural Spaces 49Th ISOCARP Congress 2013
Gu Zongpei The understanding of Beijing Cultural Spaces 49th ISOCARP Congress 2013 The understanding of Beijing Cultural Spaces Zongpei GU, China academy of urban planning and design, China “The enduring competitive advantages in a global economy lie increasingly in local things.”1 With the progress of globalization, urban culture becomes increasingly important. Beijing has a long history and rich cultural resources. But the space vectors of her cultural resources are being invaded in the process of urban growth. In the end of 2011, the municipal government decided to ―turn Beijing into a city of prestigious cultural center of national demonstration and promotion and international significance.‖ 2 Building such a ―Culture-enriched Beijing‖ pose an urgent quest to reexamine and analyze the current status of the city’s urban cultural space against the background of the new era. 1. Identification of Beijing’s Current Urban Cultural Space “A nation’s cultural renaissance starts with a summary of its legacy.”3 Beijing’s long history and rich cultural resources laid a solid foundation for her cultural construction. An empirical study of the current status of her urban cultural space is the basis and prerequisite for further analysis. This article will discuss the current status of Beijing’s urban cultural space from her historical cultural space and contemporary-modern urban cultural space in a time sequence. 1.1 Historical Cultural Space Before the establishment of People’s Republic of China, Beijing’s historical cultural resources can be divided into ancient time (before the opium war in 1840) and modern time(1980 – 1949). 1.1.1 Ancient Time Beijing’s history as a city can be traced back to more than 3,000 years ago. -

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. -

Analysis and Evaluation of the Beijing Metro Project Financing Reforms
Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 291 International Conference on Management, Economics, Education, Arts and Humanities (MEEAH 2018) Analysis and Evaluation of the Beijing Metro Project Financing Reforms Haibin Zhao1,a, Bingjie Ren2,b, Ting Wang3,c 1Ministry of Transport Research Institute, Chaoyang, Beijing, China,100029; 2Beijing Urban Construction Design & Development Group Co., Limited, Xicheng, Beijing, China,100037; 3School of Civil Engineering, Beijing Jiaotong University, Haidian, Beijing, China, 100044. [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Keywords: metro; financing; marketisation; reform Abstract. The construction and operation of a metro system are costly, and the sustainable development of a metro system is difficult using government funding alone, particularly for developing countries. The main source for metro system financing in China is, currently, government budget and bank debt. Many cities have begun to seek new ways to attract funds from finance markets, which is increasing the need for the evaluation of metro financing. This study uses Beijing as a case study that utilises various financing modes with impressive results. As participants of the financing reform, the authors collected all the relative government documents and interviewed stakeholders to accomplish this work. This article reviews the development of financing modes for the Beijing Metro system during the last four decades and analyses the role of the government in the reformed financing system within the Chinese social political environment. The study addresses the advantages and challenges of the reforms in this context. To further analyses the technical processes of typical financing modes, the public-private partnership mode of Line 4, the BT mode of Olympic Branch Line, the insurance claim mode of Line 10 and the failure of the market oriented financing for Capital Airport Line are analysed and evaluated in detail. -

(2020). Exporting the Silicon Valley to China. Online Journal of Communication and Media Technologies, 10(3), e202016. https://doi.org/10.29333/ojcmt/7996 ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Received: 7 Feb 2020 This article focuses on the history of Zhongguancun as one of the most important area used by Accepted: 9 Apr 2020 the official Chinese narrative to promote the historical shift from the “made in China” model to the “created in China” one. We reconfigure this process through three historical phases that reflect the engagement of policymakers, business and high-tech agents in the creation of a specific social imaginary. Based on a textual analysis as well as on political and sectorial sources, this historical study argues that Zhongguancun carries a set of cultural values influenced by the Silicon Valley experience, however it still fails to achieve success in terms of creation and innovation. In detail, our article highlights three findings: Zhongguacun satisfied the conditions of creative area only during its first stage, when local industries had to adapt its services and products to the Chinese language and culture. Second, Zhongguancun shared with the Silicon Valley neoliberalists issues such as those related to the risk of a real estate bubble burst. Third, although Chinese documents show that Zhongguancun has not the same creativity outputs compared to the Silcon Valley, it shares with California its financial dynamics mainly driven by huge investments in innovation places like innovation cafes. -

Can China Go High-Tech When Exports Slump? March 12, 2009 in In Case You Missed It by The China Beat | 3 comments By Yu Zhou As the financial Tsunami batter China’s exporting hubs, everyone is wondering how well China can weather the storm in the next couple of years, but a more important question is how China’s economy will emerge after the crisis. As a result of extensive research, I argue that there have been sustained forces pushing China’s industry to more innovative fields with a stronger orientation to the domestic market. The crisis will only strengthen the shift in a more dramatic manner. This conclusion is based on my research in Beijing’s Zhongguancun, a region dedicated to innovative industry and domestic market. -
