Throughout China, there are hundreds of cities that
have everything needed for a modern, urban lifestyle:
high-rise apartment complexes, developed waterfronts, skyscrapers
and public art. Everything, that is, except one thing: the
people,
These mysterious — and almost completely empty — cities are
a part of China's larger plan to move 250 million citizens currently
living in rural |
areas into urban locations
by 2026.
Unlike the US, where cities often begin as small developments and grow in accordance with
local industries, these new Chinese cities are built to the point of
near completion before introducing people, a completely new type of
urban development.
