China has a dream a vision to pull itself out of poverty and become a moderately developed nation in time for the centenary of the formation of the People’s Republic, in 2049. Yet achieving this goal involves a total transformation on every level, a total overhaul of country and culture. From a radical redesign of its cities, buildings and transport networks, to weaning itself off fossil fuels, cleaning its polluted air, water and land and embracing renewable energy, to technological innovation, international trade and an upgrade of its standing on the global stage; by 2049 China will reinvent its very form and function. But what will this new China be like and what will it be like to live there? Over three episodes China 2049 will paint a picture of mid-21st century China. We’ll consider the difficulties facing the country today and visit the pioneer projects and interview the experts racing to solve these problems. The results will be as surprising, spectacular and revealing. Join us and witness China 2049.
