You Won’t Believe 20,000 People Live Inside This Building In China

#thecivilizedmind #china #regentinternational Imagine sharing one address with around 20,000 other people. Inside Regent International in Hangzhou, apartments, restaurants, supermarkets, gyms, cafés, salons, and everyday services are packed into one enormous complex. In this documentary, The Civilized Mind explores what life is really like inside China’s famous “vertical city.” Originally developed with larger hotel-style and luxury spaces, parts of the building were later divided into smaller rental rooms, attracting young workers and newcomers looking for convenience, location, and lower housing costs. For outsiders, Regent International can look like a disturbing vision of overcrowded urban life. For many residents, it is simply an affordable way to begin life in a major city. Is this the future of urban living — or a warning of how crowded our cities could become?
