The city of Ordos, in the middle of China, was build for a million people yet remains completely empty. Ordos is not so much a place as a symbol of Babylonic hype. But nothing will change--as long as people believe.
More than 2 million inhabitants could live in the recently-built Kangbashi area of the Chinese city of Ordos, but the majority of the buildings remain empty because money-mad speculators have bought up all the apartments. Breathtaking images reveal the inanimate chill of a city that has lost the fight against humanity's insane lust for wealth.—Anonymous
