In rush to urbanize, China flattens 700 mountains

In rush to urbanize, China flattens 700 mountains:
"Despite environmental concerns about the project's feasibility and long-term impact on this arid, polluted region, a government-hired private developer is slicing the tops off 700 low-level, barren mountains and filling in the valleys to create a 10-square-mile base for "Lanzhou New City," 8 miles from Gansu's grimy capital."

Urban planning, Chinese style.  "I am striving to win honor for Chinese people," says Yan, nicknamed "the Bulldozer."
