In 2010, the company "Goselektroseti" China has conducted a census of electric meters subscribers from 660 cities.As a result of this event transpired quite strange fact.As a result of the census, to 65.4 million meters of apartments was zero.That is, in these areas no one lives.As it turned out, since 2000, the year China is building city- "ghosts."More than twenty of constructed points are unpopulated.Why China empty city?Try to understand the article.
No housing crisis
hard to believe that in an overpopulated country where the birth of each child is considered to be almost a crime, there is an empty city.China has built new buildings, highways, shops, parking lots, kindergartens, offices.Of course, housing is provided engineering and communication networks, water supply, electricity, drainage.Ready to life.However, in the empty city, China is in no hurry to send its citizens.What is the reason of their appearance?
One option
Why China is building an empty city?The government keeps the sacred mystery, leaving open the possibility to assume only the true purpose of these items.It is believed that the empty city in China - it is just a "duck".However, because there are pictures of the uninhabited areas.It is to say that to get a photo of an empty city, in general, is simple.In all, even the largest, the metropolis is the period when the streets are no people, no cars.This usually happens in the early morning.Well, if you did not happen to catch that moment, you can use many of the well-known program Photoshop.On this view, however, there are objections.The first thing to say that the Chinese themselves do not deny the existence of these cities.In addition, there is good satellite images.They show clearly that in the heat of the day there is no one on the streets, and in parking lots there are no cars.
"Conspiracy Theory"
There is also the view that every empty city in China, is in huge underground shelters.They are designed to receive several hundred million people.Thus, the Beijing government makes it clear to the authorities in Washington and Moscow, that the country is fully prepared for nuclear war.As you know, underground shelters are considered the most effective way to protect the public from the damaging factors (ionizing radiation, shock waves, radioactive contamination, radiation).
empty city in the event of disaster
According to another hypothesis, the Beijing government, anticipating a quick change of government in the United States is preparing a house for their fellow citizens who are currently in the United States, but would be willing to leave it in the event of an economic collapse.Also put forward a version that will empty the city a haven for the inhabitants of the Middle Kingdom in the environmental disaster, when water will hide under an all coastal areas.A house built in the most remote areas.
Capital investment
According to another version, the empty city - a cash contribution of the government.Beijing authorities have considered that it is cheaper to keep money in real estate than in the accounts of foreign banks.In this regard, and the monumental, but empty of the city - just in case.Again, this view is debatable.How will stand empty city?Photos presented in the article, adequately illustrate these uninhabited settlements - some of them are more than 10 years.They idle for another 20 years, that they will be next?If you empty the city so no one inhabited, they have to carry, most likely.
new housing estates
All empty city really built away from the coast.At the same time for their construction are chosen the least seismic dangerous territory.Actually, it all can be explained.If there is a range of areas where lead is a monumental building, it is better to be safe and adequately protect future residents at least from earthquakes and floods.
Kanbashi and Ordos
above cited version of a profitable investment.Under this assumption, there is truth.Many owners bought an apartment from the developer is still in the initial stages of construction.Now the cost of housing has increased several times.As we learned from some sources, in the city of Ordos apartments in buildings have their owners.One of his areas - Kanbashi - is located twenty kilometers from the city center.It was built in the middle of the desert.Designed district about 500 000 people.However, it looks completely empty as permanently resident in about 30 thousand.In fact, vacant apartments in the area is almost gone.Ordos is one of the richest cities in China.He stands on the deposits of natural gas and coal.In this area Kanbashi for its residents - something like a garden.They go there for the weekend.It should also be said that the yearly increase in the number of people who want to work and live in Ordos.It follows that the apartments in houses built even 20 km from the city center, is constantly becoming more expensive.Fly in the ointment
Without it does not do almost any major undertaking, even in a country like China.Any large-scale construction is based on government subsidies.To control the movement of funds appointed senior officials.However, not all of them are clean on hand.Periodically, someone comes to grand larceny and fraud.So, for example, a fairly large town qingshuihe county began to build in 1998, the year.However, over the next ten years, he has not been completed.By the way, the average city for 500 thousand people is being built in China for about 6-7 years.Dedicated to qingshuihe county money magically disappeared.Guilty, of course, have been found and brought to justice, but the village had not been completed.For a long time it is completely abandoned and uninhabitable.But the history of this village is the exception rather than the rule.
In conclusion
Most experts still tend to the version associated with the competent economic planning.China is constantly increasing population, build houses.People go to work on construction sites, get a decent salary.At the same time, of course, they all pay taxes.With savings, people are investing in real estate.Often, they are buying the same apartment that was once built themselves.Thus, there is a uniform settlement of empty areas.According to statistics, every year large numbers of people move from villages to larger towns.A former Chinese megacities will soon not be able to accommodate all comers.For those who do not want to live in the countryside, the government provides an opportunity to purchase an apartment in a new area.
