This Beijing Design Week: Design HOP@UCCA forum convenes a panel of experts and historians to discuss the intertwining of temporal, political, and social factors that have shaped Beijing’s urban construction, specifically the traditional Beijing hutong. How have changing definitions of private and public property and urban planning (or the lack thereof) manifested in recent decades? What is happening today? The forum is introduced by BJDW Creative Director Beatrice Leanza and moderated by Abitare China contributor Chao Yan.
