Sino-swiss workshop

On October 28th, 2019, the research team took part in all-day meeting with different departments related to urban planning and city conservation at the Beijing Municipal Institute of City Planning and Design. The purpose of this meeting was to share approaches to urban planning in each context (China and Switzerland), and discuss current related projects. Christian Schmid gave a presentation on the urban development paradigm of the city of Zurich, and Florence and Thierry presented their new project on the use of cultural heritage at the Beijing Winter Olympic Games of 2022. This workshop was fruitful in terms of network-building and data.
