As one billion rural Chinese move to cities, Finnish engineer and writer Eero Paloheimo attempts to disguise an eco-city into a skyscraper.

Eero Paloheimo has come to believe China might well have a pioneering role in securing the future of mankind. With dreams of a new Silicon Valley, space for 20,000 people and 10 'innovation centres' focused on developing clean technology and an ecological way of living, only bureaucracy stands in the way of Paloheimo's plans.

Introduction by journalist Herbert Wright.
