Notes on New Songdo City
Another epic post from City of Sound, this time on one of the Far East’s latest ‘instant cities’. It’s incredible really, as if someone’s literally playing Sim City with the landscape there (cf. Blog All Bookmarked Web Pages: Shanghai Diary). Also: I never realised China, South Korea and Japan were in such close proximity as to make a bridge between them a realistic engineering challenge. Please make that happen. Permalink ·

(Update 12/04: The Guardian has just posted an accompanying film of Chongqing with the journalist Jonathan Watts.) Permalink ·
