"Another lure for U.S. architects is the chance to see a project designed,
built and in regular use in as little as a few years. In the United States,
by contrast, with various bureaucratic hassles, projects can typically take
more than a decade to come to fruition, and often much longer.
"an American architect said that in the United States, buildings are
typically designed to last 75 to 100 years * * * But in China, he said, the
private developers often want 'a building to last 30 years' maximum. 'Their
idea of a building is like a commodity. It's disposable.'

(b) The report talks about "the size of the downtown of a midsize American
city."
City of Boston fits the bill of a mid-side American city. But its downtown,
as well as those of other mid-size US cities, is very small--just several
blocks.
