You fill a deep void with this kind of content. There is a lot for all of us to learn when it comes to urban planning in China, especially since each city is doing things differently. The lack of attention on China by the UA-cam urban planning community is honestly quite disappointing.
Every city has its combination of old and new with the relative advantages. I am (originally) from neighbouring Hong Kong, but the typical old street scene is the same whether you are in Guangzhou or Panyu or Macau or Hong Kong. The old city may be narrow, crowded, a bit dirty and in need of a revamp, but did you notice how convenient it is that people can buy virtually everything they need within metres of their apartments? Look at that store at 0:13 stacked full of fresh vegetables that was probably picked that morning or the day before. I can guarantee you the prices would also be very affordable. This is typical across China. Compared with Western countries, there are just a lot more small family-owned shops (or just street-side stalls not under a roof) where you can buy everything you need. China isn't yet completely corporatised. Small local sellers still exist everywhere.
Every city has its combination of old and new with the relative advantages. yes, but The only difference is that the old communities in Chinese cities, although old, life is not bad. In other countries, it called slums
So where have you seen any slums better or the same as those neighborhoods? You just disguised a replacement for the slum concept. A slum is an area characterized by poor buildings in a physical state of disrepair, a degraded environment in unsanitary conditions, and an ABSENCE of basic and essential facilities such as electricity, potable water, drainage systems, schools, health facilities, and recreational grounds. Do these communities lack any of that? @@shenyun7195
@@shenyun7195 Well in most of Europe the old towns tend to be the most attractive parts of the cities. Very central with variety of shops, restaurants and public transport.
@@ellav5387 That's not the old town. That's their traditional architecture,essence. The old town in this video is not like that. The old town in Europe corresponds to traditional Chinese architecture,but in this video ,its just old and broken ,It's not art. It's just old houses. But their lives aren't that bad
This is really interesting! Please do more videos on Chinese cities. Would love to know more about their street, architecture, public infrastructure, and modes of transit.
Great video Eric. I must admit, I like these kinds of videos from U, find them interesting, and in some what inspiring wanting to go to China and see the country as a traveller.. So for my point of view, I would like U to continue making these kinds of videos now and then 👍
This is a great video. I am sure it took a lot of effort to film and edit. I hope you can make more content like this. I think the US can learn so much from these in community planning. The urban villages seem very interesting and perhaps the US can have a less dense version of it. I like all the shops and convenience and sense of community they have.
Subscribed. I hope you could do all sorts of Chinese cities. I feel that China is the driver for human progress at this moment in history. They are actually trying to change for the better. And they have the resources to do so. Therefore, knowing what China is doing in each city for the change might help us to understand how we in the West is doing. West has been quite stagnated for decades. Nothing new and nothing new to desire for. It is always the same old same. I really want to see another force in play to push us out of stagnation.
Love this kind of video, interested in seeing updates on this area for sure. Shenzhen is doing a lot of interesting urban planning on reclaimed land, with major developments like Qianhai or the Shenzhen Bay Super Headquarters. There are aslo the Shenzhen Bay Culture Park/Plaza and Opera House projects in Nanshan which should be completed within the next 2-3 years. One of the most interesting urbanism related projects is probably Tencent NetCity though. They are attempting to build a car free walkable Tencent campus (also on reclaimed land) in western Shenzhen. I'm super curious to see if that project will succeed, the plan is that it will be served by Shenzhen Metro line 15 but the location doesn't seem great so who knows.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment. Net city sounds very interesting, I’ll need to look up more info and see if I can head over and take a look
Currently basing myself out of an urban village in Shenzhen. The biggest complaint I have with the place is the crazy food drivers and the fact rhat you low key feel like you're going to get hit by an ebike, among other things you've mentioned. But after being in the American bay area for so long, just being able to walk at all is amazing
yea the bay area is almost entirely crap for walkability...do you find your home gets enough light? I've been in one of these handshake buildings before (only one...) and it was so dark.
@@Eric_Garrison The light level is fine for me, I live on a lower floor, obviously higher floors command a premium. I find it easy to make it work because here, if I get tired of being indoors I can always go outside. Much more manageable lifestyle-wise than my old 900sqft apartment in CA, even though my current apartment is even smaller. I wanted to start out in an "average" neighborhood and not the wealthier areas because I wanted to get a view of how your average joe would live here and get a real feel for the standard of living here. I actually fell in love with the neighborhood, it has so much life and personality and the people are friendly despite the fact that I only know "NIhao" and "Xie Xie" so far. Had no idea it was a type of neighborhood unique to Guangdong.
Almost every city in China has an old city and a new city. Of course, the proportion of the old city is getting smaller and smaller, accounting for only about 10% of the entire city. Some ancient buildings have been transformed and restored into commercial tourist attractions, which is rapidly developing in China. Development is inevitable. Similarly, many old cities in the West have been preserved, but the difference is that China's old cities are also very safe and convenient.
Looks like a great design in principal. Getting our brothers and sisters to adhere to those unspoken rules is another. Parking wherever, whether it be scooters, cars or bikes even walking pedestrians will remain to be seen. Time will tell and there's always hope.
Yea haha the ingenuity of the Chinese spirit is unparalleled. If they can find a random place to park that will inconvenience everybody they will take it. But it seems they’ve made a lot of cool choices here to make it less annoying for people to spend time here and to actually walk around. Hope it turns out well when it’s done.
Truly, and rarely mentioned by other foreign bloggers is that China's infrastructure construction really rarely serves the disabled. When the tactile paving is occupied by various parking areas, roads and other buildings, I can hardly imagine that a blind person can travel safely. This is a major issue in our country's infrastructure construction.
For sure I agree . Actually in my video about the Chinese subway this was one of the first things I mentioned, tons of bikes parked on tactile pavement …
This is great improvement. Shenzen does seem notoriously car centric. Honestly Zhejiang province definitely jas the most bike friendly infrastructure I've noticed in Cina and it'll be great if other local governments take cues from them. The city does look a bit grey though. Maybe when its completed it'll need some art and graffiti and stuff to give the city life. Saw something like that in a video on Weixin(not sire i spelt that right) and it definitely adds a lot of character. Does Shenzen actually need another expensive area filled with shopping malls and entertainment centres. Feels like the city is already full of that. You're definitely right about needing more public housing.
For sure. Zhejiang jiangsu shanghai imo all great for biking and walking. Protected bike lanes actually exist and smaller walkable streets as opposed to massive avenues. Shenzhen does not need anymore malls… and the one going in here is massive. Blegh.
@@Eric_Garrison Many shopping malls in Shenzhen are not for tourists and residents to shop, but for wholesalers, probably similar to the small markets in Yiwu in Zhejiang Province.
Yea it’s all good. I got lots of ideas for non NIO stuff this year. Whether or not any one views it it’s fine. I do it for me first and foremost. Glad you enjoyed it
I’m really not sure this is a step forward as you see there’s pretty much no street level shops, people are pushed into malls where there are just chain stores where owners don’t work in them. The footage from the start show vibrant streets, the latter is sterile (and if all the overpriced apartments haven’t been bought for investments alone, then there’ll be a few more people on the street but they’re not stopping to talk or interact because there is nothing to interact with) . If you travel to Japan and look at the large scale developments like Makuhari, Tsukuba, Odaiba and Harumi, they have the same weaknesses - little local community expression in the space, long walks to basics, heat islands and wind corridors that make walking inhospitable. Thankfully there are improvements in this project you showed with the building overhangs and abundant greenery. It does seem like there is a sweet point in differing density, road/path width and occupier ownership that leads to flourishing communities and these large developments are devoid of that diversity.
There is definitely tons of street level retail, I just didn’t talk about it, but it’s there. Just mostly no one has moved in as the area is still very much under construction. Remains to be seen how the area will work out in practice but I hope it is conducive to community and small business and not just indoor shppping malls… give it two years and check back to see what ultimately happens
China, compared to UK, US, Europe, has not had luxury to loot other countries through colonialism or invasion with endless wars to develop itself. It has a cost to pay but most peaceful modernization within such a short of time in the history
This was interesting video and your commentary was able to keep me interested all the way through. One thing I think could improve this kind of videos is that maybe use few of the minutes into more detailed, slower look on things you found interesting in that place, like any specific place or some specific view that you found interesting or nice and why it mattered to you. It would give more "depth" and a chance to have a break from the barrage of facts for us who actually didn't visit there :) I think overall the visuals supported the commentary well but it lacked the "human" side a little :)
Thanks for the comment. I personally prefer slower paced and deeper videos too, but I find that the analytics tell me if it doesn’t go quickly and more basic level then people click away. 😅 will see what I can do to balance it future video
I have to say I love the city villages and how they mix in with ultra modern cities but clearly building regulations have been flouted as everyone has tried to build as much on the space they occupy.
It is lacking warmth. We have same problem with new areas of US cities. Bottom floor should have shops and restaurants that are inviting with outdoor sitting for restaurants. Hopefully when they are finished, the buildings will have them. For older or disabled people, it is too far to walk to get necessities it appears.
I do have a concern for narrow car lanes. I get the idea to encourage people to walk more. But reality is reality. Cars will still be the most comfortable means of travel, even for a short distance. So sooner or later, those small car lanes with be clogged with cars stops and drops off, delivery trucks holding up the lanes, and motor cycles zig zagging around because now the roads are small and they feel that they could compete the space with cars. So long term, I think this "reducing car lanes to discourage cars" will work out. You just have to understand human nature, and plan for 3 lanes (6 lanes two ways) car lanes. But have strict mandate not to have parking on the side. The end result is, one lane will "endure" the occasional drop off. And the other two lanes will keep the traffic not impacted.
It’s deserted. Give it time to fill with people or perhaps the idea is too keep it for the rich. These videos are definitive better than your auto or face videos. I wonder how much an apartment in shenzhen or dongguam cost, from studio to 2 bedrooms.
😂 I try not to show my face if I ever can help it. But what’s a face video? Walking around or sitting at home? Oh and deserted cuz it’s still a construction site. Hopefully eventually it’ll be lively
Dude, it is not perfect. However, it still look A LOT better than anything in the states. If you want to look for imperfection, go visit the states and talk about it. Debit Downer.
Those are old urban areas with complete living facilities such as water, electricity, gas, medical treatment, and management, which are very different from slums in other countries. China does not have typical slums
I can give you another point about Shenzhen. In Shenzhen, all the public buses are electrical. It seems all running well without problems and seems so advanced and environmental friendly. But recently, when the Hongkong bus companies, after decades of hesitation, finally use the same type of electrical buses from BYD, the breakdown rate of electrical buses is much higher than diesel engine buses. So, don't trust the reports from China govt.
@serriajohn I've searched about BYD buses in London. In there, BYD is cooperating with the Dennis (ADL) bus making company. Dennis diesel engine buses are used in Hong kong for several decades. Perhaps Dennis company can add on its experience to make the buses better. But in Hong kong, since China is heavily controlling Hong kong, we can only buy the same buses used in Shenzhen.
@serriajohn yes, "the rest of the components are made by Dennis" that's the key point. In Hong kong the BYD buses are directly from BYD. So, it happened in a case that when a BYD bus broke down, even the emergency exit door could not be opened because electricity supply had problem. It's so terrible. But unfortunately for Hongkong under China strong control, we are not allowed to order new buses from UK Dennis company anymore. So sad.
Unfortunately China faces a difficult future. Surviving a massive population decline, de-globalization, and a collapsing real estate industry will make urban re-development pretty low on the list of priorities.
Again. The so called demographic issue is so overblown and exaggerated. Europe especially western and southern european countries are experiencing much older declining population even despite the massive influx of immigrants. FYI, China has so much people living in rural area compared to western countries. It's urbanization rate is quite low at 61% even you if you compared it with some middle income countries like Brazil, Mexico, etc. Hence, there's still a massive inter city migration from rural will happen but not that much compared to previous years.
FYI, the average urbanization for upper middle income countries which China still belongs to (but very soon it will enter to high-income category) is around 75%. Example, urbanization for Brazil is around 87%, for Mexico is around 81%, Malaysia is around 77%. For developed countries, average is around 80%. China's urbanization i.e still around 61% is still relatively low even compared to its peers in upper middle income.

Population decline...similarly happening in Japan & South Korea, the effects of which has yet to be felt in China. You can keep wishing for a collapse to happen, doesn't mean it will happen. De-globalization..China has the whole global south, Africa, middle east, Asia and Russia to trade with. Collapsing real estate market...didn't the US have a collapsing real estate market in 08? You think China with four times the population won't bounce back? Btw, home ownership in China is at 90%, your perceived disastrous outcome is really quite exaggerated. China has prospered in the past and survived for centuries, no amount of western fake news and slandering will bring it down.

城市的更新和发展是必要和不可逆转的。
城中村的消失也可能意味着这个城市对贫穷的年轻人不再友好，这会使得很多人望而却步，尤其深圳这样年轻的移民城市。
15年前18岁的我坐火车44小时到达深圳，生活从城中村开始，以很低廉的租金住在最繁华的市中心，直到十年前我积累够资金开始创业，在其他城市买了房子后离开深圳。
深圳是我曾经最喜欢的中国城市。
那些城中村是很多年轻人梦开始的地方，低廉的成本让我们可以在深圳这个随时随地都有机遇的城市，工作生活和创业。
几年后当我再次去到深圳，感觉已不再熟悉和亲切。
如果我是一个刚毕业的学生，我相信从现在开始，我不太可能在深圳舒适的生活，成功的几率也很小。
十分可能只是因为你对深圳的认识局限在了你经验中的罗湖、福田、南山三个区，下意识地忽略了深圳目前工业化最迅速的龙华、宝安、光明等区，才会让你得出对目前深圳城中村消失对年轻人不再亲切的错误观点。

It's urbanization rate is quite low at 61% even you if you compared it with some middle income countries like Brazil, Mexico, etc. Hence, there's still a massive inter city migration from rural will happen but not that much compared to previous years.
FYI, the average urbanization for upper middle income countries which China still belongs to (but very soon it will enter to high-income category) is around 75%. Example, urbanization for Brazil is around 87%, for Mexico is around 81%, Malaysia is around 77%. For developed countries, average is around 80%. China's urbanization i.e still around 61% is still relatively low even compared to its peers in upper middle income.
960M youth still want to change China for the better. Plus AI and robotics will take care of the declining population. Not a big deal overall

Population decline...similarly happening in Japan & South Korea, the effects of which has yet to be felt in China. You can keep wishing for a collapse to happen, doesn't mean it will happen. De-globalization..China has the whole global south, Africa, middle east, Asia and Russia to trade with. Collapsing real estate market...didn't the US have a collapsing real estate market in 08? You think China with four times the population won't bounce back? Btw, home ownership in China is at 90%, your perceived disastrous outcome is really quite exaggerated. China has prospered in the past and survived for centuries, no amount of western fake news and slandering will bring it down.
