  • CHINA. Beijing. Men peer through a fence, trying to catch a glimpse of the new Olympic park. In recent years construction has boomed in Beijing as a result of the country’s widespread economic growth and the awarding of the 2008 Summer Olympics to the city. For Beijing’s residents however, it seems as their city is continually under construction with old neighborhoods regularly being razed and new apartments, office blocks and sports venues appearing in their place. A new Beijing has been promised to the people to act as a showcase to the world for the ‘new’ China. Beijing’s residents have been waiting for this promised change for years and are still waiting, asking the question “Where’s the new Beijing?!”. 2008

  • CHINA. Chongqing Province.  Men looking out over the town of Wushan, which lies on the banks of the Yangtze and at the entrance to the 3 Gorges. As tourism booms, towns are being developed and modernized resulting in old areas being razed.  The flooding of the three Gorges, by damming the Yangtze near the town of YiChang, has remained a controversial subject due to the negative environmental consequences and the displacement of millions of people in the flood plain. The Yangtze River however is reported to be at its lowest level in 150 years as a result of a country-wide drought. It is China's longest river and the third longest in the world. Originating in Tibet, the river flows for 3,964 miles (6,380km) through central China into the East China Sea at Shanghai.  2008.
