It has been foretold, and so it shall become.

I'm betting on "Mega-Awesome City"
If it's anything like that hotel they built within a couple of weeks (or was it months), every building will be dangerously unstable.

Dangerously unstable amounts of cool, maybe.
And you thought traffic in China was bad now...

FINALLY we are making fucking hive cities I was wondering when we were gonna get on that shit.
Just got to make sure they have a horrible wealth distribution and are super poorly maintained and we'll be set.
damn china you crazy
Oh my god, fucking awesome.
I hope this starts another dick waving contest and every Western country eventually ends up doing something like this.

Hive cities are awesome and terrifying.
Awesome because a hive city can reach proportions the size of a country
Terrifying because when you live in the lowest tiers, your life is a living hell, the upper tiers SHIT on you and wars can be fought for months in one single hive.
is it city8 or city17?? :D
Don't get me wrong, I don't want the Earth to become a planet-wide city with no green spots or anything, but this is so cool.
Call the Mexicans up, we'll finish it in a week
I am part of a nation with total of ~11 million of people in it.
Heh.
I'd say that I think this is fucking amazing, but I can't actually comprehend how large it is...
It's... massive...

Or did they just scrap that?[/QUOTE]This article is basically about them merging 9 cities together. At first it'll just be on paper, until they fill the gaps between them with whatever.
I have a vague feeling it won't be the most pretty, well built or healthy of the cities though.

China fueled a real estate boom much bigger than the US's, leading to a massive surplus of apartments.

Well, it is China we're dealing with, so if you fit the words [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huolongjing"]fire, or dragon[/URL] in there somewhere, it could probably work.

You do realize how many people live in rural areas, correct?
