>>These are good times indeed for Chongqing, home to 32 million people and growing so quickly its maps are already out of date by the time they are printed. 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.

This is a small-scale model of the city, on display in Chongqing's Urban Planning Exhibition hall. It is two years old, and by now is "hopelessly out-of-date."

The best description I can think of for this city: "Kowloon, unraveled."

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.

I only recently became an expat, as I have just moved to Chongqing. If anon wishes I can actually use the camera I've got while roaming about.
