Earlier this week, on Tuesday, a special screening of CGTN's documentary 'Hotline Beijing' in Auckland offered local leaders and community members a rare look at how Beijing, the Chinese mainland capital, tackles urban management and community problem-solving.
The event attracted a diverse audience, including Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown, representatives from the city's business community, film industry professionals, and members of the New Zealand-China Friendship Society.
'Hotline Beijing' delivers a deep dive into the capital's municipal operations, highlighting strategies for addressing community needs and coordinating city services.
The screening sparked interest in innovative approaches to city management among attendees, with Mayor Brown noting the value of learning from global peers.
As cities worldwide seek solutions to urban challenges, this event highlights the power of documentary storytelling to fuel cross-cultural idea exchange and inspire new paths in city innovation.
