Documentary: The Chinese Mayor

Once a thriving capital in imperial China, the city of Datong 大同lies in near ruins by 2013, ranked as the most polluted city in the country. Mayor Geng Yanbo耿彦波has a bold new plan to turn his coal-mining city into a tourist haven. That will require pulling down 14,000 households and relocating 500,000 residents, all to make way for a restored city wall. Pizza while supplies last.
