List of under-occupied developments in China : ウィキペディア英語版 | List of under-occupied developments in China
This is a list of property developments in China which remain mostly unoccupied, sometimes referred to as "ghost cities." They are also frequently referred to in the media as "ghost towns",〔Umberto Bacchi, (China's Ghost Towns: Deserted Cities Raise Fears of Debt Crisis ), International Business Times, 4 March 2013〕 but this usually refers to abandoned places rather than new ones which have failed to attract a population. == Background == The way property values are structured in China plays a role in the creation of "ghost cities", according to author Wade Shepard, who has traveled widely to research the phenomenon of China's underoccupied cities. "Economically affordable housing" must be lived in by the owner, and can not be bought and sold as an investment. The developer is only permitted to sell "economically affordable housing" at 5% over the cost of construction. By contrast, "commodity housing" can be bought and sold as an investment. Because housing is a physical object, and China's large population guarantees an ongoing demand for housing, commodity housing is considered a more secure way of storing money. "Commodity housing" purchased as an investment generally sells, with the exception of some Tier 3 and Tier 4 cities which have different government regulations. Construction of "commodity housing" is driven by the disparity between urban and rural land prices. Rural land, which must be collectively owned, is redesignated by a municipality as urban construction land, which can then be resold by the municipality at as much as forty times the price. He explains that municipalities must pass on about 40% percent of their tax revenues to Beijing, and are responsible for about 80% of their expenses. Hence there is an incentive to seek non-tax income streams. According to Shepard, as of 2015, "40% of the revenue that local governments in China make is from land sales." The Party further incentivizes construction on this newly urban land by using local GDP growth as one of the indicators that makes a local government look good within the Party.〔
