Dead zone: cities and villages where no one lives

Our world is constantly changing, the population is growing, people are building new houses, new cities. It also happens that, in view of certain circumstances, the construction is frozen, and the buildings remain empty, without waiting for their tenants. Consider four cities that, already built up, continue to be considered a dead, still uninhabited zone.

Kangbashi

In the northern part of China, a new city of Kangbashi was erected during the construction boom. Once it was considered the future promising metropolis in which 300 thousand inhabitants can live.

However, the onset of the financial crisis left him only an unrealized investment in real estate. Developers are still harboring vain plans to demolish skyscrapers in order to sell land and at least somehow offset the costs.

Suburb of Sesengi

In Spain, near the town of Sessenia, billionaire Francisco Hernando, counting on the rush demand for real estate, built a large residential complex in which there are 13.5 thousand apartments.

His project became the largest in Europe among all private developers. Hernando has already transferred over 2 thousand apartments to creditors when the authorities stopped the sale of real estate. They did not give permission to settle, because there was no drinking water, no infrastructure, no roads in the area. To top it all off, the billionaire was charged with bribes and tax evasion to the state, because of which he had to flee to Equatorial Guinea, abandoning the construction.

Kijondon

The city of Kijondong, which many have nicknamed the "village of propaganda," is located in North Korea.

This settlement is the only one that is visible from the territory adjacent to the country of South Korea. The houses here are just a sham. They have no interior, and the light in the windows lights up at a strictly defined time and only in specific parts of the building. Sometimes here you can see builders, military men and women who came to wash the windows.

Kilamba

30 kilometers from the capital of Angola, the China International Property Management Investment Corporation has begun construction of the city of Quilamba. It was planned that it will be home to half a million residents. More than a hundred large shopping centers and several dozen schools for children appeared here.

Construction work has already been completed, but only 220 apartments have been sold, since only a very small part of the Angolan population can afford to buy a new apartment.
