Trend Reports
	"City+" by Tony McAteer
	Both thrilling and frightening, massive urban growth is one of the global features of our time. City+ looks at striking developments in regions at the forefront of this growth. Through their structures and transformations each region is reflecting it¡Çs experience of globalisation, the opportunities, challenges and social shifts it brings. City+ probes at the narratives therein. Having worked as a photographer since 2000, Mr. Tony McAteer has been photographing in Doha, UAE, Cairo & Marassi in Mexico, and China many times. Through his series of photographs which began in 2014, you can see the transformation these places have made in the passed several years.
