About those empty skyscrapers i think in part they are a gamble on workers migrating from the interior to the coast.
But in recent years their government has started a program aimed at transferring some of the coastal activity inland.
How effective that will be is hard to tell, but there are already interesting stories of hotels that have entrances on multiple floors because the city was funded in a valley between multiple hills. End result is that new roads go between the hills on bridges, passing right by the hotel. Sounds like one crazy place to live.
- rainbowmverse 9y agoThat sounds interesting. Are any of these stories available online in English?
- digi_owl 9y agoWell yes, i think the one i read was a blog or travel story from someone that visited the place. BTW, i believe the city in question is Chongqing. But sadly i didn't keep a bookmark of the story itself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chongqing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chongqing
