Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
The world
biggest ghost towns
China’s
economy has grown very fast, faster than any other state of this magnitude in
human history. The country with the world largest population cemented more
concrete in three years than the U.S. had done in the whole 20th
century. It also created more highways and high-speed railways than any other
country in the world in a decade or so.
Such rapid
expansion has been driven by government investment or initiated and subsidized by
local governments. It has been China’s winning theory to develop and grow
economy by building apartments to house people from rural areas, stadiums and
museums to attract visitors, and industrial parks to invite new businesses. But
recently, some of such development projects seem to have shown discrepancies
between plan on paper and reality, and created ghost towns.
Enjoy seeing
the photos of developed but not inhabited towns in China.
