SDS & SCE present, Pressure Cooker Urbanism: Density, Growth, and Gambling in Macau – Land reclamation in Macau has a long and tortuous history, pressured by political exigencies, economic crises, demographic pressures, and cultural ambitions, giving rise to an erratic series of well-intentioned projects that were all too often cancelled, compromised, or abandoned while still incomplete. This presentation will outline the history of land reclamation and urban planning in Macau, and examine the spectacular urban mosaic that has emerged as a result.
