Book review by #donotsettle

Kris and Wahyu, the architecture vloggers duo behind #donotsettle reviewed the book Progress & Prosperity, The Chinese City as Global Urban Model.  Watch the book review

The Chinese metropolis has developed into the world’s most successful urban scheme. Combining bottom-up energy with top-down force, it pushes cities and their inhabitants towards progress, fast-forward. China’s megacities are efficient, with well-functioning infrastructures, top-notch public transport, proper housing, steady economic growth, a low crime rate, an attractive climate for foreign investors, and a glitzy skyline to boot.

Can this metropolis be the blueprint for cities worldwide?
