Of the global cities whose population exceeds 500,000,236 of them,or one quarter of the world’s stock,are in China. Construction projects in cities are reducing the architectural remnants of their traditional culture.

With this question China Today interviewed Lü Pintian,a researcher with the Chinese National Academy of Arts and a member of the National Experts Committee for Protecting Intangible Cultural Heritage.
