Yeah, it's interesting to me how China (and Hong Kong, etc.) have seemed to follow the discredited Le Corbusier model of tall isolated residential towers surrounded by trees and roads. Perhaps it's a mistake or perhaps it's a requirement for density? Medium density development like Barcelona or Brooklyn is really surprisingly dense—enough for almost everywhere in the western world. China has just far more people, though, so maybe they need to go taller.
