Liu Wen-shan, director of Wuhan City's Environmental Control Center, is proud of his modern system. In the concrete bunkers on the roof of a building, a computer monitor constantly shows up in numbers and colors as the air quality monitoring system is being drawn in from behind.

He said it was one of the most modern Chinese systems. The water and air quality in Wuhan has improved significantly since the central and local governments invested millions of dollars in a clean-up campaign called the Blue Sky and Clean Water. This is evidence that the Chinese government has improved the perception of environmental problems arising from the rapid economic growth and they are serious about solving the problem.

Wuhan has grown rapidly over the years, with only cars, taxis and buses in the streets, and fewer people cycling. The Wuhan government has increased green coverage of many areas in the city center, improving the quality of roads, minimizing the amount of waste generated from burning factories and planning to stop using trucks. polluting the streets.

The city also moves from traditional state-owned industries (such as steel) to foreign joint ventures (such as car production). Wuhan also invest in new green technology. The city's long-term goal is to produce and use electric cars and buses.
