Series 3 - Urban China

Walking around any of the urban areas in China, one cannot fail to come across something interesting bubbling under the surface of any of its modern towns and cities. Despite the rapid destruction of the ‘old’ to make way for the ‘New China’, there is still always something to find that is still uniquely China, and uniquely characteristic to each individual urban centre. How long this may last will be determined by China’s administrators and developers (David J Coulson - 1997-2006)
