Nov 2009
Saturday 28th of November the Beijing Centre for the Arts opened the exhibition “Green Projects II, Three Dimensional City: Future China” featuring work of Paolo Soleri and MVRDV. The centre piece is an installation by MVRDV, “China Hills”: a scale model of a future Chinese city which offers alternatives to the current urbanization in China.
On a hypothetical site of 1×1x0.5 km the plan offers space to accommodate up to 100,000 inhabitants and a well balanced mix of urban program and nature, agriculture and energy production; all in the shape of a Chinese mountain landscape: realizable with today’s technologies. The exhibition is open until February 28th 2010.

alternatives to the current urbanization in China?
These kids know nothing aboute urbanization in China. Urbanization seems to be out of controll.
But in fact,rather than city movement, urbanization is a political movement that centralize wealth to the govenment. Housing price in big cities are reachless for ordinary people, but you still need to buy it. That why urbanization is unstopable. Statesmen get these high profit with no effort by rapeing land from peri-urban farmers.
BTW, There hills is just puting a mess into another. This is not a game for you kids to play.
