In Europe and the US a lot of these were built too.
A lot of them are now being torn down.
I'm not an authority on why, but I believe they tended to be crime and drug hot spots. I have also read of various health problems being associated with them (both physical + mental).
- zaccus 9y agoBuildings like that in the US tend to be housing projects, where people are less likely to have a sense of ownership. Not exactly apples to apples.
- timthelion 9y agoThere was also a technical issue, caused by the fact that in the US, many of the buildings had windows which could not be opened. People didn't like that.
