Beijing is a brilliant example of a city undergoing a dramatic change since it received the honor to host 2008 Summer Olympics.
With the preparation nearing closure, the hosts are expecting a glamorous sixteen days of event. Beijing has flourished with the development of China's economy. The beautiful skylines glittering at nights give a feeling of exhilaration. Come August and athletes from across the world will descend to Beijing for a highly competitive environment under the finest technically equipped stadiums.
The success and development of city can be contrasted to the connecting areas of Guamao and CCTV building to the world's largest airport and the skyscrapers of Beijing to conclude the all-round progress and growth in the recent times.
In China, many believe that successful hosting of the event will transform the economy, a positive sign to ever growing China's global presence in world market. This belief gets strength from the sea change happened to Republic of Korea soon after the Seoul Olympics in 1988. Park Keun-tae, CEO of CJ's Group operation in China stated, "The Republic of Korea's consumer culture grew quickly after the Olympic Games."
If anything that hinders Beijing's optimism, it would be the challenging traffic and pollution threat, though authorities are all prepared to check the smog. Some change in the air can be felt while strolling on the streets.
The beauty of the 'Green Olympics' lies at the Olympic village, merging technology with sculptured architecture, the high point of the stadium. The National Stadium, now popular as Bird's Nest is uniquely designed, the network of steel girders gives the stadium its nest looks which stamps the Chinese Hi-tech development.
Beijing Olympic promises to be a 'Green Olympics' and the theme has been replicated in all the venues. Not only has the National Stadium- the heart of the event, but also the National Aquatic Centre states the same. The structural design of 'Water Cube' is based on the natural formation of soap bubbles- a research undertaken by Weaire and Phelan (Physics Professors) about the arrangement of soap bubbles in an infinite array throws the light on ever growing technology used in China.
Not only the technology but the impact of the Olympic Games will certainly infuse the spirit of global competition and interaction in Chinese youth.
Come August and you will interact with the new technologies and the high standards put together in building Beijing as the biggest and modern day city of sports.
