China's Ballooning Cities: The rise of megacities in Asia
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июн 2020
- Megacities with no historical precedent or predecessor are being created in China. As a reaction to mass migration from the countryside to the cities, gigantic superstructures are being built that surpass the volume and height of any buildings in Europe or the US. They also possess forms and functions that have never existed before. The documentary showcases eight projects, in the cities Chongqing, Behai, Shenzhen, Beijing, Shanghai, Ningbo and Wuhan.

However, this new architecture is often chaotic. In an attempt to provide living space for the rapidly growing population, it ignores China's history and traditions. City planners, architects and designers are overwhelmed and lag behind. With modern museums and "neighbourly" skyscrapers, some try to give the anonymous structures a sense of identity and culture.
Co-Production Prounen Film with ZDF and 3sat, 2015
Film by Claire Floquet, Jörg-Daniel Hissen
Original title: China’s Ballooning Cities
The mentioned ghost city has been populated in 2020.
This video paints a gloomy picture of the Chinese megacities. I have visited many megacities in China and I can tell you that they are much better than the maker of this video wants you to know.
Yeah, it comes across as standard anti-China rhetoric.
Something about China doesn’t seem right. If the economy is the second largest in the world, why are so many Chinese trying to immigrate to America illegally? They are the fastest growing demographic of illegals- even bigger than the Hispanics. Moreover, where are the high tech products these factories in the megacities produce? It is only recently that the Chinese managed to build the equivalent of the Boeing 737 (the C-219), 55 years after the American “bird” first flew.
Very good
One documentary featured an architect where they were tearing down an old section of the city that had a street with small shops & houses with courtyards and he stretched out his arms and said "I'm taking this neighborhood and making a high-rise." His building had small shops, and floors that were "parks" and schools in the building. One floor had a community kitchen (apartments had their own), but he said people loved to cook together for a large gathering. His idea was not to isolate the people in the building, but make it so they got to know each other the way they had on the old street. The architect who had the building that looked like separate houses had that idea, but he was missing the "park & community area."
Do you still have the name of said documentary by any chance? /name of the architect
From the fashions on this it was filmed in about circa 2016/17, which is a world away from today's multi-speed society. Btw the 'ghost cities' are a different development model - everything's built at the start, the population grows after. This saves a large amount of money n- for example Ordos was built future-proofed for 1 million inhabitants, and is abput 40-50% full as of 2022.
The Kangbashi District was supposed to house 300,000 BY 2010. Even by 2020 there were still only 150,000 people living there. It maybe future proofed, but the development still failed in the expectation of the builders. And now the still few people living there have to maintain and repair unused housing and infrastructure. At the very core it was a waste of money and resources, poor planning.
A very decent video with fair points. We would not romanticize uncontrollably growing cities that are governed by concentrated sources of finical power, nor buildings built by single man while using "I" and "my building" in every sentences. But I love that the video is trying to strip our western centered world, to understand that there are vast different dynamics and challenges than those that we are occupied with in Europe and that the migrants are the vital moving motor of the cities. In this kind of cities participation might be far more challanging, but also in our beleive is that in this "vital"cities as the video often referred too, participation comes natural.
Who else is here from online school
Not me... we’re you expecting a ton of people to say “Me!!!” or “I am!” or “OMG I am here too!!!!” ???
Maybe the 8 people who liked your comment but I’m here just to learn about mega cities

WHERE ARE THOSE THAT SHARE IN THE MEMORY!!!
I bet the government will pay extraordinary expensive price tag to maintain on those ghost cities 🗿 because if not, they wasted money , resources, space and efforts of labor by the people which can't have high payups. 💀
I bet you are so poor that you can't afford to buy a plane ticket to the local place, so you are talking nonsense here.
Good plan chaina for ur features
Do you know the song at 3:28 name its a Chinese song
我告诉你吧，这种音乐只会出现在中国游戏里面。正常中国人是不会听这种音乐的
比如古代的游戏。

❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a mess they are making of their country.
The writing is super bad. Otherwise, the documentary is enjoyable.
Edit: I refuse to subject myself to any more of that writing. Out at 15:30.
lmao
What writing? Chinese? The script to this? 🧐
I’m now 30min in and this video is pretty good... I recommend you come back and give it a rewatch to the end.
hahahaha
wassap
Shame on you sitting in front of a curtain and posting rumors, without providing any evidence, and then starting to make up rumors
These farmers don’t have the money to live in these cities
希望所有伟大的劳动人民都能过上他们想要的生活 向他们致敬。 salute。

The Chinese are super efficient 👍
In some ways yes, but sometimes efficiency doesn’t mean much when things are created poorly, reckless, of low quality, etc.
@@MrRusty-fm4gb quality is reflected by the specifications or requirements. Efficiency is not a measure of quality but how well a job is delivered according to specs.
Not really, when they build ghost cities. All that unused housing and infrastructure is by definition extreme waste.

i had to watch this for school LLLLLLLLLLLL
hi, may i know what do you write about this video for your work?
as if western developed nations have no such problem? go to paris and you shall see african towns. same with london and LA.
Excuse me? African towns? 🤨
@@nygeriunprence he mean black districts
So what's wrong with black communities are you racist?
@@rossbank7248 The problem is that there's an enormous difference in living between Africans and europeans. I love Africa and Africans, but inviting hoards to Europe is a bad idea. The same goes the other way. - If I want to experience Chinese culture I'd go to China, I want to experience African culture I'd go to Africa. Mass immigration from far-away places is usually the beginning of the end for such places. (I.E Rome)
Just as an example, one African lady whre I live made a fire in the basement of an appartment block because she was trying to heat up the block, almost killing everyone inside. New housing is practically ruined in many instances where middle Easterners and Africans have lived in there. Even though there's fully functional kitchens, many of them will still prepare and cook food on the floor, and maintainance is non-existent.
@@rossbank7248 the last affluent one , the Greenwood District in Oklahoma City was burnt down by racists in 1921.

Good jobs...asian rise ....
Chinese urban environments would look so impressive if it weren’t for the pollution and car dependent designs
This, living in beijing and walking in it is awfull, you think US streets are wide? Try crossing the strees of beijing...its simply not convinient neither desierable for human conditions.
Halfway into the video-and after commenting- I dozed off...Guy at 32:25 is definitely an INCEL....
