<p class="p1">This documentary about the former mayor of Datong is very interesting:</p>

<p class="p1">An American city of interest could be Los Angeles, described in the classic 'The Image of the City' by Kevin Lynch: <a href="https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/image-city"><span class="s3"><a href="https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/image-city" rel="nofollow">https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/image-city</a></span></a></p>
<p class="p1">Relevant European cities such as Berlin and Paris, which so inspired Asian exchange students in the early 20th century, are investigated in depth by Walter Benjamin in 'Berlin childhood around 1900' <a href="http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674022225"><span class="s3"><a href="http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674022225" rel="nofollow">http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674022225</a></span></a> and 'The Arcades Project' (das Passagen-werk) <a href="http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674008021"><span class="s3"><a href="http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674008021" rel="nofollow">http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674008021</a></span></a> respectively. The last title is quite demanding, but reading just a few passages (ha!) would give an insight into the essence and atmosphere of European urbanism at a crucial point in its development.</p>

<p class="p1">Perhaps BBC's program "How China Fooled the World" will be of interest to you. This documentary takes Wuhan as an example and discusses problems of urbanization in China. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwiEKVrZFWc"><span class="s1"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwiEKVrZFWc" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwiEKVrZFWc</a></span></a></p>
