Post-earthquake Reconstruction and Demonstration Project in Ma'anqiao Village |
|||
This project is being hailed as the No. 1 post earthquake village re-construction and demonstration base under the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development (MoHURD) of China. Ma'anqiao village is a typical village located in the poverty mountainous area of China. All village houses are traditional rammed-earth courtyard with common living spaces for both human and livestock. After the earthquake in 2008, due to its remoteness, poor accessibility and resources limitations, it was not re-built. There were a lot of remote villages like this. The project aims to demonstrate and convey an affordable, ecological, sustainable, healthy and humane way of post-quake village rebuild that local villagers could afford, own and pass on.
