You might think that here, as in Pripyat, radiation disasters that forced citizens to leave their homes places. But actually it’s possible to live here: there is all necessary infrastructure, and residential buildings are modern and comfortable. For the design and construction of each such city billions of dollars have been spent. Although it is strange that many ghost towns are located in the most disadvantaged regions China, poorly developed by man and very far from large enterprises and trade routes.
Versions about the reasons for the appearance of ghost towns in China
Chinese reporters report that at the moment in China �about twenty ghost towns are being built, and the number uninhabited new homes approaching seventy million. According to one theory, such settlements represent a kind of reserve fund for the population. Let’s say start third world war. Shanghai, Beijing, Chongqing and other major cities will be at risk of bombing, and then their inhabitants will be to evacuate here. Ghost towns have bomb shelters for many thousands of people, and in such safe shelters you can even survive nuclear attack.

Another version says that the spontaneous construction of empty cities is a government anti-crisis measure. Around the same in the thirties of the last century Franklin Roosevelt inferred United States of the Great Depression.

By the way, not all of these cities are completely deserted. For instance, Ordos – the largest of them – is already inhabited by several thousand Chinese citizens. This is a real metropolis in which there are empty libraries and supermarkets (however with salaries librarians and sellers), empty buses go, work deserted amusement parks. Such a place is a real paradise for sociophobes and misanthropes. You can walk or ride all day the city on a bicycle, without having met a single living soul.
