Every year the NYT says the same about the disappearance of Beijing. This time around Bulldozers Meet Historic Chinese Neighborhood, MovingCities reacts with an insight in hutong hypochondria: The characters are set: talk to a local resident, a professor of urban planning, a foreigner and an activist. The description of the hutongs are equally known: charming, historic and originality mixed with anxiety. And the future is here: fake, mega-developments, luxury brands and polished spaces. And add the right timing: the hutong-stories are a sinisterly good summer read. Check Gulou Hutong(s) and ask yourself "Do You Hutong?"
