| Summary: | Chongqing Municipality, located in the
southwest of inland China and upstream of the Yangtze River,
is one of the largest cities in the world, with an area of
82,400 km2 and population of 33.92 million
(Chongqing Municipal Bureau of
Statistics and NBS Survey Office
in Chongqing 2016). To put it in
perspective, the municipality’s area
is as large as that of Austria and its
population is close to that of Canada. This report is based on two analytical streams:
1) an assessment of Chongqing’s issues and
challenges at municipality and central city
scales based on the trends of the past 20
years, benchmarked with other provincial-level
municipalities in China and with global cities to
derive policy lessons for Chongqing; and
2) a scenario analysis comparing a Trend scenario
and a Compact Growth scenario for central
Chongqing. |
