Sumario:"Rehabilitating the Old City of Beijing presents a fascinating account of Chinese residential design and planning and will interest urban historians, conservationists, planners, and architectural scholars and practitioners."--Jacket
"In Rehabilitating the Old City of Beijing, renowned academic, architect, and urban planner Wu Liangyong argues eloquently for "organic renewal," in which the drive to raze the old city and build a new one is tempered by a respect for local and historical identity. As the project in the Ju'er Hutong ("Chrysanthemum Lane") neighbourhood shows, it is possible to achieve a balance between ancient values and modern concepts."--Jacket
