PLANNING AND ARCHITECTURE IN CHINA
Our means of transport when doing surveys
in Quanzhou.
Location: Qinglong Xiang in the Chengnan
district, February 1999.
On this page you will find material and
links concerning architecture and planning in China. Tan Ying, PhD,
has been a lecturer at Tsinghua
University School of Architecture,
Department
of Planning and Urban Design. Johan
Nilsson has also a PhD from the same school and took his Master
Degree in Architecture at Chalmers University
of Technology, Sweden. We are now
living in Göteborg, Sweden, together with our daughter
Fia.
Our research is focused on urban
conservation and social aspects of urban renewal in Chinese cities. A
speciality is how tourism development can utilise the
historic-cultural resource and promote preservation, and vice versa.
We have mainly worked in the capital Beijing and the coastal port
city Quanzhou. Some articles and other material are available on the web.
You may also be interested in visiting the
website concerning traditional urban neighbourhoods in Quanzhou. Why not take a virtual stroll through the Bei Men
(North Gate) neighourhood!
