Chongqing is one of the largest cities in China, and one that has recently undergone one of the most rapid urban developments in the world. Tim Franco, a Shanghai-based French photographer, has been following and documenting this enormous city’s equally great transformation since 2009. His book is a rare photographic collection and documentation of Chongqing’s bewildering scale, containing over 60 original images Tim Franco recorded over dozens of trips to the city across a fascinating five-year period.
