Hi guys will these events at some point have a video podcast program that all the rest of the world can share with? I'm sure a lot of architects and urban planners practicing in Shanghai would love to learn about it, too.

in my view Shanghai is not a people city it is a city built around thr car much like it s American counter parts. Sorry to say new city s need to be built around people, walkable easy access to fresh food, water an open green spaces secure yet private housing an few roads an much public transit. This would maximise human productivity an creat a sence of well being amoung the populis. Cleaner air because air polution would be greatly reduced. But we all ready know this greed builds our cities not people right?
