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.

4. Beijing has built many new sports
facilities for example The Birds
Nest and the Water Cube
have been some.
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 down to
be replaced by
office buildings
and apartments

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!
Because....
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.
