In semi-related other news (related to Kowloon by the fact they’re both MolsonExport “obsessions” ), this made the news here

Kowloon Walled City's modern day baby:

https://www.unilad.com/community/lif...95016-20240531

Inside ‘dystopian' apartment block where its 20,000 residents never need to go outside
Thousands of people live in one of China's largest apartment block which is so well equipped residents never actually have to leave.

This company is able to provide residents with everything they need, so they never have to go outside again.

Finding the right place to live can prove to be difficult because you want it to be as perfect as possible.

You want to make sure its in a decent location for work, easy to see friends and family, is affordable, maybe even has entertainment close by, right?

Well, imagine if you never had to really leave your apartment block and could essentially get all the things you need.




Would that be a utopian dream or a dystopian nightmare?

It seems at least 20,000 people are living that reality regardless in one of China’s largest buildings.

These thousands of people live in a complex known as the Regent International, a colossal building in Qianjiang Century City, located in Hangzhou’s central business district.

Now, why don’t the people living here tend to leave? Well, because all of their necessities are pretty close to them.

Of course, the building cannot provide fresh air unless you open a window, so you're probably going to want to head for some air and stretch your legs once in a while.

The amazing-looking building stands at 675ft tall, offering 260,000 square metres of space, subsequently making it one of the largest buildings in China.......click link above for more

That reminds me greatly of the Copan Building in Sao Paulo
