According to new demographic research, China actually has 15 megacities (urban areas with 10+ million people), not just six. OECD researchers using satellite imagery created new urban area maps for China, following guidelines used for other urban areas around the world. What they found was incredible:
>1. Shanghai - 34 million >2. Guangzhou, Guangdong - 25 million >3. Beijing - 24.9 million >4. Shenzhen, Guangdong - 23.3 million >5. Wuhan, Hubei - 19 million >6. Chengdu, Sichuan - 18.1 million >7. Chongqing - 17 million >8. Tianjin - 15.4 million >9. Hangzhou, Zhejiang - 13.4 million >10. Xian, Shaanxi - 12.9 million >11. Changzhou, Jiangsu - 12.4 million >12. Shantou, Guangdong - 12 million >13. Nanjing, Jiangsu - 11.7 million >14. Jinan, Shandong - 11 million >15. Harbin, Heilongjiang - 10.5 million
How are you preparing for the Chinese century, Jow Forums?
Mainly just because of all the fucking highrise appartments. Japan and even South Korea to a lesser degree do residential urban planning much much better.

>Just let everyone in and trust the free market to provide housing, bro!
It's difficult to build a lot of new housing quickly unless you use a cut-and-paste template. It doesn't look great, but it's decent enough for residents.
Guess where most Americans used to live in the 1930s-1950s. Urban apartments and townhouses.
You’re already seeing a flight to the suburbs in China. But the average Chinese person needs the only housing they can afford.

>comfy neighborhoods
You do realize that I lived in Seoul in the 1990s and those “comfy neighborhoods” (like pictured) of today all got demolished and rebuilt? You people have absolutely no understanding of the world.
Seoul demolished all the slums in the 1980s and 1990s. The “comfy” places were simply rebuilt.

The biggest reason we have such a high suicide rate is because our citizens don’t get psychiatric helps they need. THAT is a fact, dude
One day they'll come knocking on the door and telling you to open up and trade on their terms, or else. You'll miss US imperialism.
Dominic Moore
stay strong

Yeah and extensive parts of Shanghai look exactly like the district you pictured.
Shanghai is Seoul twenty years ago, just as China is Korea twenty years ago. The comfy slums and fire hazards will be demolished because home prices are 100times annual wages.
Not providing more supply is basically saying “hey all you poor urban people, fucking live on the street”.

lol i hate america very much but i can tell living under chinese imperialism is going to be much worse.
Christ almighty. I grew up in Inceston and lived in Slowbart, so the very idea of having even one million people living in a space like that freaks me out. I need trees, water, and mountains yo.
wonder if chinks realize the west will never accept a nonwhite hegemon. it'll find an excuse for all out war before that ever happens

How? Seoul, Tokyo, Shanghai,etc. There's no big difference.

Imagine being drunk and trying to get back to your house in this neighborhood.
