Yet at the same time they have whole cities that no one lives in. They call them ghost cities.

High density housing is a good thing. Americans need to let the idea of a white picket fence and a big backyard go.

Sounds high, but doesn't sound China high. The place has a billion damn people.

How many people fit into one of those apartment buildings you see in movies that have like 40 units per floor a couple dozen floors?

While I agree about ditching lawns and backyards, this place is not stable for a few reasons, like:

Located in Qianjiang Century City, Hangzhous central business district, the S-shaped Regent International was originally designed as a luxury hotel, but was subsequently converted into a colossal apartment building, with the rooms turned into thousands of high-end residential apartments. The impressive building is 206 m tall and has 36 to 39 floors, depending on what youre side of it youre on, and as any self-contained community, features a variety of amenities and businesses, like a giant food court for its tens of thousands of inhabitants, as well as swimming pools, barber shops, nail salons, medium-sized supermarkets, and internet cafes. You can find anything you need in the building, so technically you dont even need to go outside.

Apparently prices range from 250-500 for larger rooms.

High density housing sucks though.

Think about the plumbing issues.

That wouldn't work in the U.S either. The political divide and gun violence would cause it to implode.

Depends on the state.

i dont care about a back yard or front yard or owning an entire house. but you gotta at least have a fairly spacious apartment with a number of rooms. in a place like this you'd be lucky to get a cupboard under the stairs all to yourself

although I do like the idea of buildings basically being small towns. a few skyscrapers close together, the lower floors containing businesses and store etc, the higher floors containing the apartments for the people who live and work there. then everything in your life is within walking distance. just take the elevator down to a lower floor, or in a worst case, to the ground floor then walk across the street

Did you even read your own articles?

They are beginning to be populated not long after Western media dismissed them as "ghost cities". These are long term investments and not designed to be filled immediately. Pudong, one of China's first so-called "ghost cities", is now Shanghai's premier financial district.
