A peer-contributable, citable evidence base
A shared, citable record of two industrial communities: Anshan, in northeast China, the steel city that broke, and Houston, on the U.S. Gulf Coast, the oil city that so far bends. Researchers cite individual entries as primary-source evidence; scholars, archivists, and family historians add new entries under one sourcing standard. The collection reads both cities against one question: what civic and economic infrastructure has to be in place for an industrial transition to be absorbed by a community rather than collapse it.
Measured by records contributed and cited in research, not by page views or downloads — a seed collection, growing in public.
