The development of COVID-19 in China has gradually become normalized; thus, the prevention and control of the pandemic has encountered new problems: the amount of infectious medical waste (IMW) has increased sharply; the location of outbreaks are highly unpredictable; and the pandemic occurs everywhere. Thus, it is vital to design an effective IMW reverse logistics network to cope with these problems. This paper firstly introduces mobile processing centers (MPCs) into an IMW reverse logistics network for resource-saving, quick response, and the sufficient capacity of processing centers. Then, a multi-participant-based (public central hospitals, disposal institutions, the logistics providers, and the government) collaborative location and a routing optimization model for IMW reverse logistics are built from an economic, environmental perspective. An augmented ε-constraint method is developed to solve this proposed model. Through a case study in Chongqing, it is found that for uncertain outbreak situations, fixed processing centers (FPCs) and MPCs can form better disposal strategies. MPC can expand the processing capacity flexibly in response to the sudden increase in IMW. The results demonstrate good performance in reduction in cost and infection risk, which could greatly support the decision making of IMW management for the government in the pandemic prevention and control.

“…Entering the new century, to balance the uneven domestic development, the central government in China initiated the Great Western Development and channelled more resources to the Western inland. Chongqing, which was upscaled to be a provincial-level municipality in 1997, thus gained more development opportunities (see Bao et al, 2019). According to Smith (2022), some of Chongqing's practices even become the precursors to the Belt and Road Initiative, now well-known throughout the world.…”

Urban Verticality Shaped by a Vertical Terrain: Lessons From Chongqing, China

Urban studies have long been predominantly flat without a vertical dimension. This horizontal hegemony is partly embedded in the fact that many cities throughout the world, especially the centres of knowledge production, are plain cities. This article argues that even narrowing down urban verticality to high-rise buildings is still a product of horizontal hegemony. This article uses the city of Chongqing in China’s mountainous southwest as an example, to extend the understanding of urban verticality beyond high-rise buildings. By investigating three vertical urban projects, namely, the Raffles City, Hongyadong, and the Mountain City Footpath system, the article reveals how vertical terrain, as a vertical element, shapes Chongqing’s urban planning, urban governance strategy, and people’s experience in the city. As a counter experience to horizontal urbanism, verticality both constitutes part of local people’s ordinary living experience and a spectacular experience for outsiders, which has been mobilised by the local government for place-making and city branding.

“…We use Chongqing as an example to show that its throughput has gained significant increment in the recent 17 years (see Figure 1), partially due to the "Go west" policy. With the support of the "Go west" policy, Chongqing has been achieving the double-digit GDP annual growth rates since 2003, with the only two exceptions being 2009 (9%) and 2018 (6%) (Bao et al, 2019). Meanwhile, the average annual growth rate of its port throughputs at the same period (2003-2018) is 12.8% (tjj.cq.gov.cn).…”

This paper examines the development modes of inland ports based on the economic models and the Chinese empirical cases. After reviewing the recent policies in China, four modes, i.e., the government-driven mode, the seaport-driven, the market-driven mode and the corridor-effect mode, are established to describe the development of Chinese inland ports from the perspective of the driving forces. Moreover, we setup an economic model to compare them and conclude that (1) the seaport-driven mode promotes the larger inland port than the corridor-effect mode and the market-driven mode; (2) if the marginal capacity investment cost is low or the efficiency of the inland port is high enough, the corridor-effect mode leads to higher social welfare than the market-driven mode and the seaport-driven mode; (3) whether the government-driven mode promotes the larger inland port and higher social welfare than the other modes depends on the positive externality from the inland port to the social welfare; (4) The "Go west" policy and the Belt and Road Initiative (B&R) promote the inland port capacity under all modes. Whether the Free Trade Zone (FTZ) and the port integration promote the inland port capacity depends on the port efficiency improvement after the implementation of these policies.
