Everything will be neat and tidy, and probably identical. The good thing is that they are trying to attract traditional Chinese businesses to the area. The hutong was once teaming with craftsmen and small factories. Workers and owners both lived there to be near the business. That will no longer be the case. Estimates for homes in the planned residential area come in over $1,000,000. Talk about gentrification!</font></p>
