Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'chinatown'

Chinatowns are distinct urban enclaves populated predominantly by Chinese immigrants and their descendants, characterized by Chinese cultural elements, businesses, and institutions. These neighborhoods emerged globally in the 19th and 20th centuries as Chinese migrants established communities abroad, often in response to economic opportunities and sometimes amid discrimination. Chinatowns represent important sites of cultural preservation, diaspora history, and alternative urban development patterns that can evolve differently in alternate timelines.
