Kyoto, Japan
Heian Shrine may look a thousand years old, but it was built in 1895. In 1869, the Emperor moved to Tokyo, and Kyoto, the capital for over a thousand years, began to fade. The city refused to give up. Led by Tanabe Sakuro, a 21-year-old engineer, Japanese hands alone tunneled through mountains to bring Lake Biwa's water into Kyoto. The canal powered Japan's first commercial hydroelectric plant and first electric streetcar. Heian Shrine was built to mark 1,100 years since Kyoto's founding: a symbol of a city reborn.
