Urban Genes

Urban Genes, a creative project in lieu of thesis, was prompted by my observation of the endless online arguments about the many dietary habits, dialects, and customs in China. They exemplified not only people’s attachment to local culture, but exposed their concern it would fade away, eclipsed by the rapid changes of cities in China. Today, we are seeing more urban development and migration occur than ever before. City dwellers hardly have time to notice their urban spaces while they are kept constantly busy with their faster pace of living and working. Meanwhile, these changes begin to erode our rich cultural traditions and sense of local identity.
