"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.
"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.
