Chinese high-rise buildings - a house is not for the rich
If in front of you a brand new high-rise building in the 20-30-50 floors that you think first? Of course that is live enough wealthy people. Only in China it is not so.
There is really a lot of people. Sometimes it seems that too much. Home even called anthills, rather cheloveinik. This is especially noticeable in Shanghai - the buildings are drawn like a thick forest, one by one.
Who lived in Soviet times, will remember that in every village or city had its own "Shanghai" - outside settlement of a bunch of obscure buildings, barns, chicken coops, a place the kids collection, adolescents, and not very clear personalities.
In the bulk of the Chinese high-rise buildings - apartment houses with small rooms and even ordinary hostels, hotels or hostels. The ground floors are occupied by shops, commercial premises or warehouse. Accommodation is designed for the middle class, and it is noticeable even from the street - everywhere up to the upper floors of the windows stick staves or frames with drying clothes.
One of the reasons of such structures - a state program of the country of resettlement villages and urban expansion. China builds up in leaps and bounds. Authorities warn about increasing the quality of life and widespread urbanization. Barracks and old houses near the town accommodated quickly build several high-rise buildings and territory being built shopping centers, hotels, office buildings, places for recreation, road interchanges.
At the same time have migrated often rent such apartments, while they themselves continue to live with relatives in other villages. After all, the availability of the apartment does not help to find a job, or to rebuild the life of an ordinary farmer in town.
However, many houses inhabited in part or not at all are empty. Chinese people do not hurry to accept them (too expensive, not always), and foreigners set too many restrictions.
And like the big cities are very beautiful - is a mixture of modern buildings and old architecture, but the tourists still have the feeling of what is just "too much". Especially humans.
