Context
This project strengthens urban–rural linkages and provides a highly replicable demonstration model
for small-scale urban–rural roads and water supply development in poor districts and counties. In
Chongqing’s poorer districts and counties, poor road conditions severely restrict all-weather access for
local communities within and between towns, while the lack of safe and reliable water supplies threatens
public health and inhibits economic growth in rural areas. The strategy of urban–rural integrated
infrastructure development will adopt a mode of development and urban expansion that considers the
availability and responsible management of the natural resources of Chongqing.
Contribution of Space Technology and Results
Through an environmental impact assessment, estimates of the loss of nonagricultural and natural land
were realized using satellite imagery with feasibility study reports and field reconnaissance. The loss of
wasteland, conversion land, and shrubland under road and water supply infrastructure was estimated
at about 92.83 hectares and the loss of community forest land was estimated at about 21.82 hectares.
