yellowboat Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 The good general is a big talker. He will be forgotten in a few years. Less so in China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oziex1 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 "The Thai Prime Minister praised the success of Shanghai's development policy which bears similarities with Thailand’s policies." Prayut has policies, or is he just going to copy. That would be Thai innovation as he has requested his countrymen to become innovators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo2014 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 The autocratic governments Nike moment - just do it! - no need for consultation. The best cities are built on the premise of decentralisation. Empowering people to make changes to their communities. Thats why good gated communities work well in Bangkok. They are (somewhat) shielded from central municipal and corrupt planning decisions. Thats also why Chinese cities are covered in pollution and ugly planning decisions. Not much to praise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobmac10 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Another headline, what's the actual plan? Praising someone else's good idea is easy, putting it into practice takes planning and commitment. When will we see action to change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenixdoglover Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) According to the Mercer survey of livability among cities worldwide, Shanghai ranks #101, while Bangkok ranks #129 (falling from 111th place in 2015). But numerous Asian cities rank higher, notably Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Seoul, Taipei, Kuala Lumpur. I have never been to Shanghai. Can anyone offer a defense for that pick by the General?
