While much of current San Francisco was created just this way, in modern times such methods are seen as an environmental disaster and no longer tolerable. San Francisco airport desperately needs a new runway but proposals to create one out of San Francisco Bay went nowhere because of environmentalist opposition. In fact, much of the southern end of the Bay that was diked into evaporative salt ponds is being returned to the marshy wetlands it once was.
But China is different. Environment? They don't need no stinking environment.
