Top Chinese official warn of ’empty cities’ emerging in China

“In a grim warning against rapid urbanisation in China, a top development official has said that reckless expansion of cities has turned many of them into ghost towns with no occupants in sight. Qiao Runling, deputy director of the China Centre for Urban Development, said local governments had relied on quick urbanisation to stimulate economic growth and generate fiscal revenue.  State-run broad cater CCTV recently carried a report showing two such ‘ghost cities’ with massive apartment and commercial complexes with no occupants, leaving local governments in deep debts.”
