Le monde en construction

As much as I love tall towers, I hate what they're doing in China. To have 2 or 3 towers that are identical is fine with me, but not 10 or 12.

Woah ! Le Port-De-Mer multiplié par 10 !!

You mean 20 or 30, Habsfan? Lol. I've seen pictures far worse than this, where the same high-rise is copy/pasted 40 times. It's like the suburban life with the single-family home replicated a hundred times in the development, except in China they're doing it with highrises instead!

 

And yes, it's ugly as hell....!... but still fascinating.

J'ai hâte de voir ça dans 20-30 ans quand la récession va pogner en Chine et le chômage va atteindre 15%.

 

Ça va être pire que les banlieues parisiennes !! Un futur enfer sur terre.

Yes it is fascinating, but it's so ugly that it's OOOOgly!!

 

cjb a raison, si jamais(devrais-je dire "quand"??) la Chine connaîtra une récession majeure, ça va être laid en maudit!

Tower 1 and 4 are rising (as pictured)

Tower 2 and 3 will be at street level soon (foundation work being done)

The memorial is due to open next year

Ça me fait penser au film Inception.

Ça me fait penser au film Inception.

 

Ça me fait penser à n'importe quel film post-apocalyptique.

If there is an earthquake there and one building falls, it will take out the whole row like dominos!
