		Chongming, a 750-square-mile island at the mouth of the Yangtze River, is the worldâs largest alluvial island.
		Prior to the competition, a new bridge/tunnel connecting Chongming to Shanghai was being planned, placing the Island directly in the path of the seemingly unstoppable Shanghai sprawl that had, in less than twenty years, witnessed the construction of three times the number of high-rises that exist on the entire western coast of North America.
		Chongming, in comparison, was decades behind Shanghai in development, with a per capita a mere one-fifth of that in the central city.

		But the middle-aged cabbie knows he is unlikely to swap his small home for an apartment in the new city, to be called Dongtan, and built to house a population spillover from crowded Shanghai 90 minutes away by boat.
		Covering a tenth of the island, Chongming's wetlands have been under pressure for years from over-grazing and excessive fishing, although they are now expanding out to sea.
		Chongming is an economic backwater, where some farmers still use donkey-carts to take straw to market, but signs of a modernity dot the island.

	Chongming link will change traditions
		Geographically separated from the city by the Yangtze River, the county's economy has developed slower than the rest of the city due to the inconvenience of having to cross the river by ferry.
		However, the mindset of Chongming residents must change to make way for the pending economic growth, which according to local officials, may prevent the county from receiving more overseas investors.
		As agriculture is still the county's pillar industry, most Chongming residents still live like their ancestors did decades ago.

		Chongming's other great import was the human nightsoil that made its way across the river, and was the main source of fertiliser for the island's farmers.
		Dongtan, meanwhile, was virtually uninhabited except for small fishing communities along its expanding coastline (the island grows by 25 feet each year due to silt deposits) and for the thousands of birds that made its wetlands a stopover on their enormous migration journeys.
		Because Chongming is administered by the Shanghai municipal authorities, this should be straightforward, and free from the controversy that has increasingly accompanied land development programmes in rural China.

	Report from the Chongming Eco-island Forum \| 来自上海崇明生态岛论坛的报道
		As urban planners work at their desks with the backdrop of high-rise that dominates the Shanghai skyline, minds have drifted towards the concept of “islands” – a vision of clean air, clean drinking water, and where a combination of good design and public awareness protect the environment.
		According to the master-plan, the main island, Chongming, will be divided into five blocks, four of them covering the main points of the compass and one central zone given over to a forest and recreational centre.
		If or when the plan is put into action, the outcome could energise an area that began to attract settlers in the Tang dynasty nearly 1,300 years ago and boost local incomes which are low for eastern China and just one fifth of the average wage in Shanghai.

	Resurgence Issue 236 - WHICH WAY CHINA? by Herbert Girardet
		Chongming's existing local farming and fishing communities will have significant new marketing opportunities with the development of Dongtan, ensuring a high degree of local food self-sufficiency and enhancing the island's long-term environmental and social sustainability at the same time.
		In the last fifty years Chongming Island has become the world's largest alluvial island, doubling in size, due to eroding soil from deforestation washing down in the headwaters of the river Yangtze.
		One reason for the decision to create a new city of minimal environmental impact on Chongming Island is the existence of a huge wetland area on the southern part of the island which is a reserve for migrating birds and the largest of its kind in China.
