The centre reigns supreme: how a polycentric urban plan for Beijing was lost
Jinxi Chen takes us on a modern history tour of Beijing's urban structure, and argues that Mao's efforts to replace the old historic centre with the institutions of communist government may have transformed the image of the city, but preserved the old concentric structure that could not work well for contemporary Beijing.
Kind regards,
Kerwin Datu
