The city is a product of human civilization. If you compared “the city“ symbolically to the human body, then the people living in the city would be like the soul within a body. A city without people is like a body without a soul. And is the life cycle of a city not also comparable to the life cycle of a human being, from birth to ripening to decline and death?. Currently China is marked by a phase of rapidly growing urbanization. The documentary Man Made Places hows through impressive images how two certain cities – and the relation of inhabitants to these cities – are developing in China in times of urban growth. Yumen – a derelict ghost town – and Kangbashi – a mythic city of the future, both are deserted. They exist because of completely different reasons.
