If you`re like me, the architecture and sheer grandiosity of Beijing 2008 Olympicsis blowing your mind.  Gotta give props to what`s going on over there,seriously.  The precision, planning, and persistence of this machine isquite compelling.   With all the new and temporary structures nowbuilt, it`s hard to discuss everything - but you`ll find someinteresting images and information below.  Notably, China might haveraised the bar for future cities that are presented with theopportunity to host the Olympics.  China`s work isn`t done, I mean,pollution is unreal and the country is now the world`s largest CO2emitter, but this article is an attempt to recognize positive efforts. When future Olympic cities start to build up infrastructure,transportation, and venues, as they invariably will, this websitethinks China has presented some new lessons in how to be bold,economic, and green.
