Book Description

Publication Date: October 10, 2010

The Chinese Dream maps out how urban China will probably be like in 2020 and investigates what alternative scenarios are feasible. Ignoring eye-catching architectural projects, and focusing instead on the new forms of urban reality that China is fast producing through countless anonymous development projects, this publication asks itself what sort of landscapes and society will result from this flash-urbanization. Through diagrams, facts, essays and interviews the Dynamic City Foundation (DCF) has sketched a range of alternative routes that provide a for a conceptual leapfrog in urbanization.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Chinese Dream: A Society Under Construction (Hardcover)

BIG, BOLD and incredibly deep visual and structural survey of the changing face of China's landscape. Detailed, well printed and most of all insightful. Recommend it for anyone interested in the future of that country, architecture and the way man is impacting our ecosystem.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The Chinese Dream: A Society Under Construction (Hardcover)

The title is misleading. The contents have nothing about what the title purports to say. I returned the book.
