municipality, raising her up to the same heights as her big
sisters on the East coast – Chongqing has developed at a
dizzying speed. Urban forms and infrastructure have sprung up,
gravity-defying, embracing the shorelines of its four banks,
each of them steeply carved out by the current of the water. The
speed of urbanization has outperformed overtaken the slow
rhythm of the fishermen, the erosion of the rivers, the powerful
hatching of the mountains.
