Austinist reports today that UT School of Architecture students will be collaborating with students at Tsinghua University to design green spaces for Beijing.
Fritz Steiner, dean of UT’s architecture school, said planning green
infrastructure for one of the world’s fastest growing cities could
provide insights for future projects in Austin. “Both cities have a
very rapid growth rate and are doing what they can to accommodate it,”
Steiner said. “The scale is different, but the issues are similar.
Traffic on the Fourth Ring Road is no different than a traffic jam on
I-35. People in both cities want to move to the most beautiful parts of
the city, but as more people move there the qualities attracting them
there decline.”
