Check It Out: China Is Proving It Means Business When It Comes to Innovation and Growth. The New Lanzhou Area, Known as LNA, Is the Latest Showstopper Project. Just Imagine, They Are Removing 700 Mountains to Build an Entire City!
Lanzhou, a city in China with 3.6 million inhabitants, is at the center of a master plan by the Chinese government. The idea is to create a regional economic conglomerate, taking advantage of the city’s strategic location. And let me tell you, LNA is no joke: it’s located 30 km from old Lanzhou and promises to be the hub of this entire merger.
The construction of LNA, which began back in 2012, is a true task force. There are 6,000 workers, over 3,000 machines, all to transform a valley into a plain ready to receive a modern infrastructure. And the investment? No less than $3.9 billion!
China Investing to Attract New Residents
Many people are being drawn to the new city, dreaming of more infrastructure and quality of life. But that’s not all: the Chinese government is heavily investing in leisure areas, with replicas of famous monuments from around the world. It’s China showing it knows how to grab attention!
-
Historic bankruptcy of Centauro shocks the market, and the century-old company puts more than 500,000 products, machines, and complete infrastructure up for online auction.
-
Abandoned house for 15 years disappears in the woods, shocks owner with unrecognizable scenery and is reborn in an intense transformation after almost 90 hours of work in just 10 days.
-
In just three hours, a natural stone floor transforms the entrance of the house with an organic effect, immediate drainage, and a sophisticated non-slip finish that doesn’t puddle water, dries quickly, and impresses with the final result.
-
‘Interlocking brick’ made of earth arrives in the construction industry with cost reductions of up to 40% on the project.
Of course, a project this size raises concerns, especially environmental ones. The region is known for air, water, and soil pollution.
But the Chinese government is confident that the project will improve the situation. And there’s more: experts warn about the financial risks of building a city in the middle of nowhere. Will it work out?
LNA Smart City: Betting on Technology
Now, listen to this: in 2017, the project received a boost with the LNA Smart City, a partnership with Huawei. The aim is to use cutting-edge technology to improve life in the city, with smart solutions in health, environmental monitoring, and much more. It’s China showing it’s ahead of the curve when it comes to smart cities.
The forecast is that, by 2030, LNA will have 1 million inhabitants and a booming GDP. The government of Lanzhou is confident that the investment will pay off. So, will LNA be the oasis in the desert that they’re promising?
The new area of Lanzhou is further proof that China isn’t afraid to challenge nature to grow. Removing 700 mountains to build a city? Only in China! Stay tuned, because this project promises to make waves.
