I remember when I was at Pratt studying architecture, we did learn about this city. Was told it was a near-failure and nobody wanted to live there. Buildings weren't built all that well (perhaps much of the concrete wasn't reinforced - but hey, it's SA). I can see how there would be huge costs associated with its upkeep - all those structures probably spall like crazy. And you can see in some of the photos that some of those structures aren't aging too well.

It's just one step up over Pyongyang. Put some traffic girls at the intersections, please.

But great photos!
