Major Civil Air Defence Works Built During and After WWII in Chongqing
Major Civil Air Defence Works (CADWs) in Chongqing
After World War II, the Chongqing government refurbished and expanded the shelters and tunnels, systematically integrating them into a coordinated Major Civil Air Defence system.
This post-war civil defence initiative treated the underground as a parallel city. The strategy shifted from merely hiding from bombs to striving for continued industrial production even if under attack. Chongqing created a subterranean matrix designed to withstand modern warfare.
The Civil Air Defence Works were built with better technology and concentrated resource, and became a truly inseparable part of the city's landscape.
