Exhibition lauds cases of solid work to build beautiful, better China

Examples at the exhibition include rural organizations which help villagers protect the long-standing low-carbon way of life and production while finding new ways of development, teams who have designed small-scale public spaces for those living in the old urban communities, and art troupes that integrate the immersive theater experience with the preservation of historic relics and cultural heritage.

Gao Shiming, dean of China Academy of Art, says these cases have been examined because they show the power of creativity when being used in the realities, and the methods being put into practice are sustainable and responsible to fully motivate the locals.

"Every case, whether it addresses urban renewal or rural rejuvenation, ecological restoration or heritage protection, public art education or community building, is a mirror of the endeavoring people who are intelligent, wise and of insight, and who are fully committed to realizing their ideals on this land."
