At a time when urban spaces are gradually losing their authenticity, we find hope in urban villages. Rather than handing over space to high-tech or commercial high-profile planning, it is better to give the city back to the indigenous people. In this sense, vegetable markets, hutongs, alleyways, walkways, green spaces, and even hawkers are all low-cost communication vehicles, open public spaces that represent the originality of the city. The most traditional, the original, not bound by rules is the best.

Contrary to urban life that seeks efficiency and technology, reawakening the potential of people to use their bodies and skills to build their environment.

Not only do people have the right space, but they have things to do, things to live in and things to build. The aim is to create a vibrant and attractive commercial and residential center.
