dream out loud

Since I’ve lived in Guangzhou (only four months) there have been major transformations. All for the… Asian Games. We have become accustomed to explaining every mystery in the city with “must be because of the Asian Games.” Some are quite noticeable changes – the TV tower, demolished old architecture, extension of the subway to the airport, the list goes on.

Certainly the city looks better than when I arrived and when I visited in January or April. Sounds like it was quite different here a year ago. I found an old article on the how the San Francisco based architects designed many of the transformations. In it, Guangzhou is billed as the third largest city in China (it doesn’t say, but I assume after Beijing and Shanghai) and a sustainable and livable city.
