Original Title: TIL In 2009 the term 'Ghost City' was coined to describe the large number of cities that had been built in China, but were largely unoccupied. However, it was Chinese policy to move the population from a predominantly rural base (82% in 1978) to urban (64% by 2020), the urban target is 75% by 2035.
