China’s empty city: new “Ordos” – video news report
China’s empty city: new “Ordos” – a video news report from Melissa Chan of Al Jazeera News (10 Nov 09).
Building China’s Growth – China’s economy is continuing to grow despite the global recession, helped by a massive government stimulus package of $585 billion.
But doubts remain whether such strong growth can be sustained by public spending alone.
Melissa Chan reports from Ordos, Inner Mongolia, where a whole new town built with government money is standing empty. Welcome to Ordos, the city of the future, brand new and meant for one million residents, was built in just five years, but no one has moved in. New, empty homes, block after block. Melissa Chan’s report explains why the new city of Ordos is waiting for life and activity.
