Looking for the Masterplan

Date: Sept 23－7:30 pm

Venue: The Bridge Cafe

Price: 50-100 yuan

Why was the capital originally placed on the Huabei plain? And where the bloody hell is the first ring road? "Looking For the Master Plan" is a crash course in Beijing's urban development. Through this talk you will get a clear understanding of how Beijing became the city it is today. Using our own collection of original maps of Beijing, Beijing Postcards has created a very visual presentation of the development of the Northern capital, from a maze of hutong alleyways to a megacity with over 20 million inhabitants.
