Could we build cities using solar panels instead of walls? That鈥檚 the dream that Huang Ming, a wealthy entrepreneur in China鈥檚 Shandong province, has had since the 1980s. He鈥檚 become known as the 鈥楽un King鈥� after building a vast solar park, including a showcase hotel, to prove a new kind of solar architecture is possible. So why hasn鈥檛 it caught on? We check into a room in the solar hotel and examine the vision and sometimes unfulfilled dreams of solar architecture in China.
Plus, why do bins in Copenhagen have shelves built into them? Clue: it helps the city鈥檚 poorest people.
