From the Helsinki Times:
What would Beijing be like with more than twice as many people?... "If you look at
large cities around the world, no city has a policy of saying 'OK we have a size cap,'
" says Wang Feng, a professor of sociology at the University of California, Irvine,
and a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington. Authorities should
be thinking of Beijing as a city of 30 million – still less than metropolitan Tokyo's
37 million – or even 50 million people, he said.
