Meishi Street is located on the southwest side of Beijing’s Tiananmen Square and runs from north to south. In this old city district, called Da Zha Lan, the city is carrying out a project to improve traffic and facilities for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. On December 27, 2004, the Beijing Municipal Government launched a project to widen Meishi Street to 25 meters from its original 8 meters. Many of the original residents living along the street faced the demolition of their homes and removal to other areas of the city.

This work is part of the Da Zha Lan Project.

The Da Zha Lan Project is part of the Beijing Case fellowship program organized and supported by Kulturstiftung des Bundes and Goethe-Institut Peking.
