Project description

No region in the world has gone through such profound and rapid economic and cultural change as Asia in the last decade. Torn between tradition and modernity, extreme poverty and supreme wealth, Asia's cities epitomise the concept of "urban chaos", responding constantly to technological innovations and economic challenges. This rapid growth is reflected in an anarchic proliferation of new cities in countries including China, Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand and Singapore. "Cities on the Move" is an intense and energetic exploration of the fast-changing Asian urban scene, seen through visual arts, architecture, film and video.
