Cities in China

OK, sorry for the near week-long break on the blog but I have still been accumulating material, just not having time to post it!

Today I read an article that came from World Changing, in their email newsletter/update from earlier this week. The article titled A Climate Neutral China was pretty awesome! Here are a few stats to reel you into reading the article - By 2030 China will have 220 cities over 1 million people, for comparison, Europe has 35!
They may build as many as 50000 skyscrapers in this time as well.

Here is a link to one of the coolest web graphics I have ever seen anywhere and this is in the article if you go to read it as well.

The article expands and goes into the necessity for planning these cities to be green, powered by green energy and have sustainable food sources, etc. The article is longer than most that I link to but this one is about one of the best articles I have ever read - it doesn't hurt that I have an interest in China anyway!
