Beijing’s urban population has grown
and people have had high demand for
cars cause of status symbol and
getting to other places faster. There
has also been high demand for adidas
shoes or iPhones and because of that
many factories have been
manufacturing all of these different
items and the factories spew out
pollution same with big trucks and
some cars. Every few years the
pollution is getting worse and worse
for example 10 years ago Beijing was
beautiful most of the time but now we
can’t see much blue sky days during
the winter. Also one of the reasons
the pollution is getting worse is
because Deng Xiaoping opened doors
to foreign companies and because of
that a lot of manufacturing has started.
I think this is a bad change because
some people think Beijing is the most
tobacco consuming country and it has
some of the worst pollution in the
world.

The Birds Nest is Beautiful at Night!

In 2008 Beijing hosted the 2008
Olympics in the very birds nest. They
built the birds nest because they
needed to look like a Olympic city so
the birds nest was built and it was
used for the 2008 Olympics but after
that there wasn’t much to do with it
unless you count observing the
architecture and the design of it. The
Water Cube has been a Beijing it
took quiet a long time to build it
started being constructed in
December 24, 2003 and the Birds
nest was starting to be constructed in
2003. Both of them opened in 2008
so in some way the Water Cube and
the Birds nest are brothers. These
changes are good I think because they
architects can come here and look at
the designs and be inspired to make
amazing designs like these ones.

5. Beijing used to
have many
cultural buildings
but now they are
being teared

Beijing has had massive population
increase because of education, jobs,
higher wages etc. and because of that
most people wont move into hutongs
and move into apartments instead
because of maybe culture shock or
they think apartments are better. Also
you don’t see many offices in old
hutongs buildings so they wipe out
hutongs and replace them with
apartments or offices. Also some
people think Beijing needs to be a
modern city so they want to tear
down hutongs. Then they give money
to the people to live in the city which
is not enough money to buy a
apartment in the city. I think this is a
bad change cause the money the
government gives to the people isn’t
enough to live in the city so they will
be homeless. They could move to
Shunyi but the house’s at Shunyi are
also expensive.

Starbucks Coffee is one
of the most bought coffee
brands in Beijing
Beijing opened their doors to
foreign companies and because of
that people have a higher chance of
getting a status symbol for example
you can be drinking star buck's
coffee and driving a Lamborghini
Gallardo (PRETTY EXPENSIVE
256,300 US DOLLARS) and many
people will stand there and their
mouth will be wide open and they
will be amazed of the person’s
status symbol. I think status
symbol’s are good because it shows
that people are now making more
money and they can afford cars and
food.

7. Deng Xiaoping Opened the doors to
foreign business’s around the 1970’s and
Deng Xiaoping opened Beijing’s
doors to foreign companies

Because....
very quickly Toyota, Starbucks and many
more companies came to Beijing and
started work there soon enough so many
job opportunities opened up so many
people moved to Beijing for those jobs and
people started to make huge amounts of
money like lawyers, investors and many
others did to. I think this was a good
change cause many people got jobs and
soon Beijing started looking like a
international city the good thing about a
international city is that there is a variety of
people from different countries so you can
connect to different cultures and make
friends from different countries.

8. Beijing is one of the most crowded cities in the world!
High population increase in
Beijing and many migrant
workers.

Many of the people coming to Beijing are
foreigners and migrant workers. Mostly
its because of higher wages or
educational reasons like going to Qing
Hua University or maybe for children
education. Beijing has had many job
opportunities after Deng Xiaoping
opened doors to foreign companies.
Since then many people have come to
Beijing to work as Diplomats, Lawyers
etc. They are making very higher wages
than people made in Beijing before. I
think this is a good and bad change. I
think its bad because many people when
they come to Beijing need a car for
getting to other places but then they
need to manufacture more and more
cars. It is also good because Beijing is
becoming a international city so there will
be a variety of people and friends to have.
