This week in my projects course, my teacher JJ took us on a trip to the "old traditional living spaces" in Shanghai, only a few families are living in this area, apparently they can live there up until the day the government tears them down. So the few families live amongst the rubble and trash left, which will soon be cleared for the new, ugly, giant, apartment complexes that are springing up everywhere.
In the U.S. we would consider these old buildings landmarks (think old town orange) yet here most people consider them ugly and unpractical. Soon, they will be gone, I'm glad I was able to see some of them before they are all destroyed.
