“Chongqing-China’s Chicago: Global ideology, urban infrastructure and the transformation of public space”

Chongqing (Sichuan province, China) is the fastest growing conurbation on the planet, with some 31 million people within its municipal parameters. The recent explosion of population, infrastructure and industry is the result of the Chinese government’s agenda to make Chongqing “China’s Chicago”.

This presentation will discuss preliminary findings from a field trip to investigate Chongqing’s rapidly transforming urban infrastructure and the changing spatial practices that result from it.

Co-researchers - Associate Professor SueAnne Ware, Dr Chengju Huang and Dr Chris Hudson.
