Beijing s
 Beijing’s Hutongs




Paul Kwok Keong McMurray
         384014
Context
• My study examined the economic impact
  that these hutongs have had on tourism,
  as well as discussed issues surrounding
  their destruction due to urban renewal
  projects.
  projects
Position
• That they should be preserved for future
  generations as they can have a greater
  economic impact in the long term and
  are integral to the culture and urban
  design fabric of Beijing and Greater
  China.
Important figures
• Between 1990 and 1998 the city of Beijing
                      1998,
  demolished 4.2 million square meters of
  housing in the old city

• B t
  Between 2003 and 2006 a thi d of th
                     d 2006, third f the
  62km squared area that makes up the
  central part of the old city has now b
      t l    t f th ld it h            been
  destroyed (UNESCO)
Why?
• Aggressive programs of urban renewal
  and urbanisation

• Littl emphasis on cultural, hi t i l
  Little     h i          lt l historical,
  scientific and artistic value of the hutongs

• Decreasing amount of unbuilt space and
  demand f h
  d     d for housing
                  i

• Market potential of land based
  development and rising house prices
Why?
                     y
•   Victim of modernisation

•   Need for major restoration - sub
    standard form of housing lacking modern
    amenities

•   Many residents no longer satisfied with
    their living conditions

•   Located in valuable central and strategic
               valuable,
    city areas
Why?
• No longer seen as economically viable

• Government has relied on taxes and
  profits from land sales to fund other
  expenditure
Can the Hutongs be saved?
• Yes! - Predominately through tourism and
  new thinking on regeneration

• Three Methods
  - Commodification
  - Disneyfication
  - Regeneration (Ju’er project)
                   (Ju er
Conclusion
• N d f b tt regulation of l d
  Need for better l ti   f land
  development

• All three alternatives show that economic and
  social d
       i l development d
               l       t does not h
                                t have t come at
                                       to      t
  the destruction of Beijings Hutongs

• Need for balance between heritage versus
  housing shortages and affordability
  h   i    h t        d ff d bilit

• Tourism has knock an economic knock on
  effect
