Saving Gulou from Demolition: ­Special Public Event on March, 27th - 为了钟鼓楼的明天更美好——北京文化遗产保护中心钟鼓楼街区保护专题研讨会
Announcement: Beijing Cultural Heritage Protection Center’s (CHP) crucial public forum on the planned redevelopment of Gulou is being held this Saturday 27 March at Contempio. CHP is urging everyone to attend to help protect this unique neighbourhood for future generations to enjoy.

Multiple sources have indicated that a 5 billion RMB budget has been allocated to convert 12.5 hectares of the Drum and Bell Tower area into a ‘Beijing Time Cultural City’ – putting the neighborhood in serious danger. Such a massive scale development will include large infrastructures like public squares and a museum. As a result, there will be extensive evictions, demolition, and construction in this ancient area, and gone will be the traditional courtyards, hutongs, and local residents.

Date: Saturday 27 March, 2010
Time: 2.30–5.30pm
Venue: Contempio No. 4 Zhangwang Hutong | 北京市东城区旧鼓楼大街张旺胡同4号
Language: Chinese
This event is free. No pre-registration is required.

Featuring:
He Shuzhong | CHP Founder and Chairman, cultural heritage legal expert,
Wang Jun | Xinhua Senior Reporter, author of Chengji,
Dominic Johnson-Hill | Plastered T-Shirts founder,
Bian Lanchun | Architecture professor at Tsinghua University.

Abgesagt
Das Informationstreffen wurde übrigens kurzfristig abgesagt. Keiner weiß zu sagen, was nun aus dem Gebiet wird - schaudernd wird über ein unterirdisches Shopping-Paradies unter dem Trommelturm gemunkelt, um die marode Finanzlage des Dongcheng Bezirks aufzupolieren.

Siehe hierzu auch die Entwicklung von Ende 2012 in einem Beitrag im Deutsch-Chinesischen Kulturnetz.
