Ko te nuinga o tēnei momo tūāpapa he anga matua, he anga whakawhiti, he tautoko whakarara whakawhiti, he papa tūāpapa, he turanga whakarerekē, me ētahi atu. Ko te tūāpapa tomokanga he taputapu hanga i whakawhanakehia tuatahitia e te Hononga o Amerika i te mutunga o te tekau tau atu i 1950. Nā te mea he ngāwari te huihui me te wetewete, he watea te nekehanga, he pai te kaha ki te kawe, he haumaru me te pono te whakamahinga me ngā painga ōhanga pai, kua tere te whanaketanga. I te tekau tau atu i 1960, kua whakaurua mai, kua whakawhanakehia hoki e Ūropi, e Hapani me ētahi atu whenua tēnei momo tūāpapa. I Ūropi, Hapani me ētahi atu whenua, ko te whakamahinga o te tūāpapa tomokanga te mea nui rawa atu, e 50% o ngā momo tūāpapa katoa, ā, he maha ngā kamupene ngaio e hanga ana i ngā tūāpapa tomokanga o ngā pūnaha rerekē kua whakatūria ki ngā whenua rerekē.

Mai i te tekau tau atu i 1970, kua whakaurua mai e Haina te pūnaha tūāpapa tomokanga mai i Hapani, te Hononga o Amerika, Peretānia me ētahi atu whenua, kua whakamahia i roto i te hanganga o ētahi whare teitei, ā, kua tutuki ngā hua pai. Kāore e taea te whakamahi hei tūāpapa o roto, o waho hoki mō te hanganga whare, engari hei papa papa, hei tautoko i te kurupae me te tūāpapa nekeneke. He maha atu ōna mahi, nō reira e kiia ana hoki he tūāpapa maha-mahi.

I te tīmatanga o te tekau tau atu i 1980, ka tīmata ētahi o ngā kaihanga o te whare me ngā kaihanga ki te whai i te tūāpapa tatau. Tae noa ki te tau 1985, tekau ngā kaihanga tūāpapa tatau kua whakatūria. Kua whānuitia te rongonui o te tūāpapa tatau, ā, kua whakamahia hoki i roto i ngā kaupapa hanga i ētahi wāhi, ā, kua manakohia e ngā wāhanga hanga o Guangda. Heoi, nā te rerekētanga o ngā whakatakotoranga hua me ngā paerewa kounga o ia wheketere, ka puta he uauatanga ki te whakamahinga me te whakahaere o te wāhanga hanga. Kua tino pāngia te whakatairanga i tēnei hangarau hou.

I te tekau tau atu i 1990, kāore anō kia whakawhanakehia tēnei momo tūāpapa, ā, kua iti haere te whakamahinga i roto i te hanganga. He maha ngā wheketere tūāpapa gantry i katihia, i whakawhitihia rānei ki te hanga, ā, he torutoru noa ngā waeine he pai te kounga tukatuka i haere tonu ki te hanga. Nō reira, he mea tika kia whakawhanakehia he momo tūāpapa tomokanga hou me ngā āhuatanga hoahoa o tō tātou whenua.
