Checking out the solar hotel
Could we build cities using solar panels instead of walls? That\u2019s the dream that Huang Ming, a wealthy entrepreneur in China\u2019s Shandong province, has had since the 1980s. He\u2019s become known as the \u2018Sun King\u2019 after building a vast solar park, including a showcase hotel, to prove a new kind of solar architecture is possible. So why hasn\u2019t 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.\nPlus, why do bins in Copenhagen have shelves built into them? Clue: it helps the city\u2019s poorest people.
