For more in-depth reporting on mind-blowing scale and speed of these projects, check out the May National Geographic special issue on China, with an article by Ted Fishman on China's urban construction boom. In an interesting turnaround from the situation in the US, where most of our products are Chinese, in Beijing all these new architectural designs are from Western companies, which sometimes doesn't sit too well with Beijing's citizens; "Some people in China—including Chinese architects—believe their country has become the Western architects' weapons testing ground":<BR/>http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2008/05/china/architecture/ted-fishman-textMarilyn Terrellhttp://www.intelligenttravel.typepad.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-16194621514860267242008-04-26T14:36:00.000-07:002008-04-26T14:36:00.000-07:00Is not ove, it´s love.
