Chinese workers have finished relocating an old building in Shanghai using a novel “walking” method. The Lagena Primary School built in 1935 was moved to a new location on October 15, 2020, to make way for a new commercial centre in the city.

really？ moving building tech is available for a long time in the US
And if this was in South Africa, then the city council and so-called engineers would be like - let's just blow that sh#t up and build a new one! Chinese people (at least the many that I have met in real-life, read about and also seen videos of on the Net etc.) do seem to be very hard-working, determined and intelligent. I honestly don't think that this could be achieved anywhere in Africa for at least another 150 years - I'm serious and I know that may offend some people who read that comment but then so be it. It's sad that people can't focus as much on ingenuity and advancement as what the Chinese seem to be doing more and more.

China has done plenty of the first as well, esp. all the historical city-walls. But that was before they got rich enough to afford to be inventive enough to pull stuff like this off.
Actually, Soviets did it in Moscow in around 30's-50's, but it wasn't historical one but usual for that time apartments. They did it to make the streets wider for better traffic flow in future...

@@lunaticbseker in my head I was like, duh they obviously jacked it up.
with great effort
Well, just push your back into it
I wanna see how they put these things under the school in the first place.
Not so difficult. They used a few giant cranes to lift the building, about 8000 tons, then put those walking devices underneath.
Take a small part of building surface (2x2m). Dig under, about 2m deep (depth depends of how high it need to be for excavation engine to go under)
Put temporary pillars to sustain that part.
Repeat.
Once it's done, the building is suspended on those pillars.
Take again some 2x2 m.
Remove pillars only there to make a robust concrete level surface that stops about 80cm below the building.
Place a machine to hold that part.
Repeat.
Then the building is fully standing on robots, in the meantime, the level concrete surface has been extended all the way the building is to travel.
Now walk to final location.
Rising or lowering the building is a way more difficult task, and could certainly not be done by cranes.
