Will the drive to ‘beautify’ Beijing's historic areas leave older residents behind?
Keywords: Beijing, Old Beijing,
Tags: Current Focus, China,
The rebuilding of old neighborhoods continues in Beijing. This story in The Guardian is about the historic Gulou neighborhood in Beijing, which is one of the only places now left with the city's ancient alleyways called hutongs. Yu-er has the remnants of working class families who moved in during the mid-20th century, many of the houses lack proper plumbing and people use communal bathrooms. It is part of the Four Hutongs project, municipal campaign to renovate four historic alleyways near Nanlugou Xiang pedestrian street.
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
