minus-squarecbarrick@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoWait, really? I always assumed China had these massive complexes because of the population density.
minus-squareZorque@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoThats the intention, but a lot of buildings are getting half-finished, then sold when they lose funding… just to be demolished so they can start all over again.
minus-squareThatWeirdGuy1001@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoYes and no. There are a lot of places in China that are high population density but also hundreds of completely empty skyscrapers. Kinda like how in the US you have entire neighborhoods completely empty built for the sole purpose of artificially raising house prices in the area.
