Ghost Cities of China The Story of Cities without People in the World's Most Populated Country By: Wade Shepard Publisher: Zed Books, Limited Print ISBN: 9781783602193, 1783602198 eText ISBN: 9781783602216, 178360221X Edition: 1st Format: EPUB Available from $ 21.95 USD SKU: 9781783602216 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.
