Discussion keeps the world turning.
This is round table.
Hello.
Welcome to Roundtable, where we serve up piping hot debates on the issues that sizzle in China and beyond.
I'm Neo Hong Lin.
Have you ever wished for a peaceful place to think or unwind?
After midnight?
In Shanghai and many places in China, that wish is becoming a reality.
The city is pioneering a new concept, parks that never sleeps.
The spot move raises several questions.
Who uses a park at 03:00 a.m.
what does it take to keep these green spaces safe and clean all night long?
Join us as we unravel the layers of Shanghai's 24 hours parks.
For today's show, I'm joined by Li Yi in the studio and Steve hatherly on the line.
Now grab your virtual compass and follow us to the heart of the discussion.
Throughout history, cities have evolved to meet the needs of their residents.
And today, Shanghai is leading a new trend.
Parks open 24 hours a day.
From Central park in Pudong to the swirling greenery of Ming Hong cultural parks, Shanghai is redefining access to green spaces.
How does this shift fit into the larger picture of urban development?
