32 Million People and I have never heard of it...

These are some images of Chongquing - with 32 million people is the biggest city I have never heard of. Foreign Policy magazine has a great photoessay of this.
.




They also have a whole story on how this city has grown this way in the past few years...
1930s - 200,000
1967 - 2,000,000
2010 - 32,000,000
This is about as much as New York and London combined! And it is in - kind of - the middle of nowhere.
.
Amazing pictures (over 20) and stories.
