The bursting municipality -- a dense urban core ringed by rapidly changing rural districts that together are about the size of Austria and now have more people than Iraq -- is the gateway to China's fast-filling west.
>>286 I love the analogy to Chicago they used. (I live in Chicago proper so fuck yeah referenccing how fucking quick the city grew before the 1871 firestorm and after. Isn't Chongquing so fucking huge on maps\state because it includes a lot of unrelated rural land as others pointed out? Then again this article suggests CHONGQING is turning into the Ruhr.
Reposting this old link for posterity. Great book that someone posted on old megachan. Thanks go to the original uploader.

Forgot to mention, to remove the annoying message that gets posted about file statistics and the fact that it was uploaded using the dumper, simply deselect "Statistics mode". I forgot to deselect it before taking the screenshot of the settings.
Oops. I'll make sure I remove it next time.
