康巴什地区本应成为100万人口的居住地，却在开始建设5年之后完全空置。
非常安静
康巴什地区是内蒙古一个富裕的产煤小镇，最早是鄂尔多斯一个公共建设项目的所在地。这个地区林立着办公楼、服务中心、政府建筑物、博物馆、剧院和运动场，更不用说一片片的中产阶级连排屋和别墅。这里只有一个问题：这个地区最初的设计是容纳1百万人口的居住、生活和娱乐，但是现在一个人也没有。
空空如也
尽管康巴什的很多地产都已经销售出去，并且计划在2010年有1百万人居住，这座城市依然空空如也。
空置
康巴什的大部分房屋都在空置。这里距离鄂尔多斯1500万人中的大部分居住的东升有半个小时的车程。
财富和知识
两名工人在整理公共图书馆的外部。这个城市声称当地人均收入全国排名第二，位于上海之后，北京之前。
珍宝宫殿
工人们在搬运鄂尔多斯博物馆台阶的填充物，该工程尚未完成。
纪念碑
一个行人走过康巴什林荫路广场上的两座巨型奔马雕像。
空旷的交通
远处树立的公寓楼大部分在空置。
不营业
一个行人走过大部分空置的商业区，几乎没有商家搬到这里的新区来。
恐怖的寂静
即使在早晨交通的高峰期，这里的街道依然空空如也。
继续施工
康巴什的建设项目依然在继续，即使没有人来住。
开门见山
一位老人拉着小车穿过马路，一边是已经完工的公寓，另一边是建设中的公寓。
未完工
工人们修建了一个广场，等待公寓中尚未入住的居民。
远望
康巴什在等待居民们把这个相当于加利福尼亚圣地亚哥面积的地区带来生气。

Meant as home for one million people, the Kangbashi district remains nearly empty five years after construction began
All Quiet
The Kangbashi district began as a public-works project in Ordos, a wealthy coal-mining town in Inner Mongolia. The area is filled with office towers, administrative centers, government buildings, museums, theaters and sports fields—not to mention acre on acre of subdivisions overflowing with middle-class duplexes and bungalows. The only problem: the district was originally designed to house, support and entertain 1 million people, yet hardly anyone lives there.
Empty
Though many of the properties in Kangbashi have been sold and a million people were projected to be living in Kangbashi by 2010, the city is still empty.
Vacant
Mostly empty apartment buildings in Kangbashi, a half hour down the road is Dongsheng, where most of Ordos' 1.5 million resident call home.
Wealth and Knowledge
A pair of workers tidy up outside the public library. The city boasts the second highest per-capita income, behind to Shanghai but ahead of Beijing.
Treasure Palace
Workers carry pieces of foam up the stairs of the Ordos Museum, which is still under construction.
Monument
A pedestrian walks behind a giant sculpture of two horses in Kangbashi's Linyinlu Square.
Light Traffic
Mostly empty apartment buildings stand in the distance.
No Sale
A pedestrian walks past a mostly unoccupied commercial area. Almost no businesses have moved into the new district.
Eerie Quiet
Empty streets remain empty even during the morning commute.
On the Rise
Construction projects in Kangbashi continue despite the lack of occupancy.
In Medias Res
An old man pushes a cart across a road segregating finished apartments and apartments still under construction.
Unfinished
Workers construct a plaza for un-present residents of an apartment complex.
From a Distance
Kangbashi awaits residents to bring the district, meant for a population the size of San Diego, California, to life. |
