While experiencing such substantial economic growth, Chengdu is taking measures to protect the environment to prevent some of the congestion, pollution, and air quality issues faced by large eastern Chinese cities. The city has participated in partnerships with foreign cities aimed at exchanging knowledge and resources to help protect city green space and make progress on sustainability.
