Massive Cities That Were Built But Never Lived In


Listen Later

Imagine walking through a city with huge skyscrapers, fancy homes, and empty streets—welcome to the world of ghost cities! These massive cities were built to house millions of people, but for different reasons, almost no one moved in. One of the most famous examples is Ordos City in China, built in the early 2000s during a coal mining boom. It was designed for a million people, but today, only about 100,000 live there—meaning most of it feels eerily abandoned. Many of these ghost cities were created as huge investment projects, but when people didn’t move in, they turned into empty urban jungles. Some are slowly gaining residents, while others stand as silent reminders of over-ambitious planning. Would you dare to explore one? 👀
