The largest shopping mall in the world is no longer the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota. The South China Mall near Guangzhou, China is twice as big! This is not a success story; there are only about a dozen stores open in the giant facility. However, because the mall is considered “too big to fail”, it is kept open with a staff working every day. The series POV tells the story in a 13 minute video. Link -via Dark Roasted Blend
Don't brag when bragging rights aren't there. My city brags about having the longest bridge over the shortest span of water ... a meaningless accomplishment (and not true).
Malls are great when it is hot and dusty outside and parks are not accessible or well-maintained, which are true in some countries in asia. I also wonder if building big structures is a sign of insecurity?
Fail.
