THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL REVEALS THE HISTORICAL, CULTURAL AND ARCHITECTURAL EVOLUTION OF SOME OF THE WORLD'S GREAT CITIES IN: “WE BUILT THIS CITY”

    "The Big Apple", "The City of Lights" and "Old London Town" - long before these world-famous cities earned their reputations as international hubs for fun, fame and fashion, they were humble settlements and trading centers. So how did a small island give birth to London, a top world power and one of the most famous cities in the world? How did New York grow from a simple Dutch settlement into the home of the world's first suspension bridge? And how did Paris ① evolve from a lowly Roman trading hub into the capital of romance and glamour as it is known today? This February, the Discovery Channel travels back in time to three of the world's most intriguing and powerful cities to gain insight into their rich histories. A three-hour special, WE BUILT THIS CITY premieres from February 23 to 25, 2003 at Discovery Channel on 23 provincial/municipal TV stations all over China.
