Towers of Babel
Josh, Shing, get out of there,
quick. It must be quite serious for them to curb building. From what I saw, it seems much more in character to build even more to compensate for the sinking.
China's largest city, Shanghai, is to slash construction of new high-rise buildings to try and stop the city from sinking under the weight of all the concrete and steel.
Parts of Shanghai are now sinking at a rate of one-and-a-half centimetres a year, largely as a result of a massive building boom there over the last 10 years.
