Wenzhou's Two Faces: A City's Soul and Reflections on Future Worlds

from *“Yesterday, I Went to Mars ♡”* · host MakotowillOlympusMons

What happens when a city's "hardware"—its impressive buildings and infrastructure—outpaces its "software," the human warmth and soul? This episode takes you to Wenzhou, China, where gleaming new districts can feel like "beautiful ghost towns," yet vibrant traditional life thrives just a street away. We explore Wenzhou's unique history of self-made, rapid development that created this "Jekyll and Hyde" landscape. Join us for a deep reflection on the crucial balance every developing city faces—on Earth, and perhaps one day, on Mars.
