Picked this up in the bookstore in Beijing’s 798 district … a hefty tome to lug all the way home (it wasn’t yet released in the US) but well worth it, even at nearly $US90 (today, via Amazon, I paid about US$125 over there). It’s innovative in both its presentation design and layout and its vision for the future urban landscapes in China, which might include, for example, transit systems consisting of pairs and trios of moving belts, similar to those in many airports, but that move at considerably higher speeds and function more or less like light rail. At any rate, probably not for everyone, but I much enjoyed this one and pick it up and flip through frequently.
