This residential estate is called HuaGuoYuan which was on a former slum area and it is now home to more than 500,000 people and it is the largest urban redeveloped project in China. This means that it is not common in other areas of China and it is unusual too for Chinese from other areas to see this kind of development. If you are the housing developer or town planner and you are given a task to fit in 1/2 million people on a total area of 18.3 sq.km which works out to be 27,322 people per sq.km which is higher than the highest population density in the world, Macau, then this urban complex encompassing office, retail, cultural, education, entertainment, residential, healthcare facilities and a park right at the center of the city with many links to public transport system, is indeed world class and you should understand why there are many residential skyscrapers to house such large population density is inevitable.
There is also a Huo Guo Yuan shopping mall nearby with IMAX theatre as well as retail stores and restaurants to meet all levels of consumer demands. This residential complex is indeed very self-contained and a very convenient place to live and it does not feel crowded and congested with wide open spaces everywhere. All it need is to plant many trees and flowers to look warm and green.
