Chongqing is easily one of China&#8217;s (if not the world&#8217;s) greatest experiment in urbanization. How these fledgling city slickers decide to dwell in their newly minted megablocks will set new precedents for living standards across western China. It&#8217;s going to be interesting to see whether or not such rampant growth will hit a wall by 2020 when the population of the city center is supposed to reach up to 20 million people. Also, see fellow INSTITUTE artist Nadav Kandar&#8217;s photo essay Yangtze, The Long River &#8211; easily some of my favorite imagery of the beast that is Chongqing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/matthewniederhauser.com\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/20100816_chongqing_theatre.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-166\" title=\"Chongqing: China's New Tomorrowland - Foreign Policy\" src=\"http:\/\/matthewniederhauser.com\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/20100816_chongqing_theatre.jpg\" alt=\"Chongqing: China's New Tomorrowland - Foreign Policy\" width=\"950\" height=\"628\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It seems that my recent photo essay on Chongqing for Foreign Policy is getting mixed up with a surge of attention focused on the fastest growing city in the world.
