This thesis explores how the goals of different urban actors, including municipal government, wealthy and low-income urbanites, combine in the location, creation and preservation of sites of low-income housing in an inland Chinese city: Chongqing. The provision of low-income housing is considered an important planning goal, however current plans indicate that all planned sites of low-income housing will be relegated to the urban perimeter. Planning documents and public exhibits of planning goals, published and set up by the city of Chongqing, are used to delineate low-income housing initiatives as well as other political and economic planning goals. Locations of pre-Communist housing in central Chongqing are extracted from high resolution satellite imagery between 2002 and 2010. This housing is then divided into different types of neighborhood depending on geographic context (inner city, former village, on riverside cliffs). This document- and image-based analysis of low-income housing in central Chongqing is supplemented by an examination of economic change in the larger Chongqing urban area. A model depicting the relationship between the goals of different urban actors vis-a-vis low-income housing is presented.
