China is facing a rapid economic growth, and not only in big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, but remarkable developments have spread out all over China. How has the landscape of Chinese cities changed in recent years with or as a result of economic development? With what kind of vision are these cities striving to change further? By introducing the cases of local cities undergoing rapid change in urban environment and design, such as Shenyang, Dalian, and Dujiangyan recovering from the Sichuan Earthquake, Prof. Mikiko Ishikawa, a leading specialist in urban environmental planning, will delineate current China, its agenda and its future.
