Why is it important?

This work is timely because the Chinatown is still under development and has not reached yet it final phase. It not only documents the physical features at this stage but also evidences the surprisingly positive attitudes.

Perspectives

Unlike other cities, the City of Gold Coast is really entrepreneur-like and it is striking to find out that people from our survey are in majority supporting this direction. It means that place-making cannot be considered only from the 'traditional' perspective of 'normal' cities.
