Shepard Wade - Ghost Cities Of China The Story Of Cities Without People In The World's Most Populated Country - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Featuring everything from sports stadiums to shopping malls hundreds of new cities in China stand empty with hundreds more set to be built by 2030. Between now and then the country's urban population will leap to over one billion as the central government kicks its urbanization initiative into overdrive. In the process traditional social structures are being torn apart and a rootless semi - displaced consumption orientated culture rapidly taking their place. Ghost Cities of China is an enthralling dialogue driven on - location search for an understanding of China's new cities and the reasons why many currently stand empty.
