A Chinatown
Several Asian Chinatowns,
although not yet called by that name, have a long history. Those in Nagasaki, Japan, [6] Binondo in Manila, and Hoi An in central Vietnam [7] all existed in 1600. Glodok,
the Chinese quarter of Jakarta, Indonesia, dates to 1740. [8] The
Chinatown centered on Yaowarat Road in Bangkok, Thailand, was founded at
the same time as the city itself, in 1782. [9] The oldest Chinatown in
the Americas, in Mexico City, dates to at least the early 17th century. [10]

While some Chinatowns are focused on commercial tourism, others are actual living and working communities; many are in fact a synergetic synthesis of both. Chinatowns can range from slum ghettos to modern sites of up-to-date development. [Citation needed] In some, recent investments have revitalized rundown and blighted areas and turned them into centers of buzzing economic and social activity. [Citation needed] In certain cases, this has led to gentrification and a reduction in the specifically Chinese character of the neighborhoods. [citation needed]Several Asian Chinatowns,

Chinatowns in North America and the oldest north of Mexico. Other
cities in North America where Chinatowns were founded in the
mid-nineteenth century include almost every major settlement along the
West Coast from San Diego to Victoria. By
the second half of the nineteenth century, bustling Chinatowns were
also established in Vancouver, New York City, Chicago, Toronto, Boston,
Philadelphia, Detroit, and Montreal. [Citation needed] The discovery of
gold in Australia caused the establishment of relatively small Chinatowns
in cities there, and similar migrations of Chinese resulted in tiny
settlements termed "Chinatowns" being established in New Zealand and
South Africa. [citation needed] European Chinatowns, such as those in
France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, are for the most part smaller and of more recent history than their North American counterparts. Newer
Chinatowns, such as Chinatown, Las Vegas in 1995, Dubai and Santo
Domingo have also received official recognition recently.
