Foto/ 40 miliardë $ për qytetin më teknologjik në botë, por askush nuk banon aty!

Ky projekt prej 40 miliardë ” u parashikua të ishte qyteti i parë i zgjuar në botë por ne fakt eshte mbiquajtur nje “qytet fantazëm”, njesoj si “Çernobil”.

‘Utopia e high-tech’ të Songdo në bregun verilindor të Koresë së Jugut është ndërtuar nga zeroja dhe është projektuar rreth teknologjisë, me kompjutera të ndërtuar në rrugët e tij dhe apartamente luksoze që mund të kontrollojnë trafikun dhe fqinjët të bëjnë biseda me video.

Banorëve iu premtua një qytet i së ardhmes, me dyer të përparme të kontrolluara nga larg dhe kanale nentokesore që ‘thithin’ mbeturinat nga shtëpia për t’u ricikluar  dhe më pas për të gjeneruar energji elektrike.

Por fotot e frikshme tregojnë se, pak më shumë se 15 vjet që nga fillimi i projektit Songdo, qyteti është ende më pak se gjysmë i ndërtuar, me një qytetar që thotë se është ‘jetuar si në një burg të shkretë’ . /PamfletiMAGAZINE

A £28 billion ($40 billion) project hailed as the world's first smart city has faded into a 'Chernobyl-like ghost town'. The 'high-tech utopia' of Songdo (pictured) on South Korea's northeast coast was built from scratch and designed around technology

Eerie photos show that, just over 15 years since the project began, the city is still less than half-built, with one citizen remarking it's like 'living in a deserted prison'Residents were promised a city of the future, with remote-controlled front doors and pneumatic rubbish chutes that 'sucked' garbage from your home to later be recycled to generate electricity. Computers were built into its streets (pictured) and condos to control traffic and let neighbours hold video chatsThe 'high-tech utopia' of Songdo on South Korea's northeast coast was built from scratch and designed around technology (artist's impression)The £28 billion ($40 billion) project, launched in 2002, has struggled to bring in big companies and investors, halting completion of developers' wide-eyed dream. Pictured is one of the city's deserted subway stationsThe city was supposed to kick-start a car-free world, with 40 per cent green space and dozens of kilometres of cycling routes (pictured). The city is dominated by a rectangular green space surrounded by cutting edge skyscrapersThe brainchild of property developers and the South Korean government, the vision was to construct a new way of thinking for over 300,000 residents, spread out over 600 hectares of reclaimed land from the Yellow SeaSongdo was to push boundaries in the way it dealt with technology, environment, business and education. Built within 25 miles (40km) of Seoul, it was billed as the antithesis of the suffocating, over-populated capital cityIt was planned to contain 80,000 apartments, 50 million square feet (5 million square metres) of office space and 10 million square feet (900,000 square metres) of retail space. But a failure to lure in companies and investors means many of the city's building plots are still empty (pictured)Completion dates for the city, also known as the Songdo International Business District, have been used loosely. It was meant to be fully functional by 2015, then 2018, and now it's 2022Critics have remarked that the city, which is currently less than a quarter full with just 70,000 residents, has a 'Chernobyl-like emptiness'Some residents claim that Songdo's high cost of living is driving local people back into Seoul and the city is being built especially for foreignersSongdo citizen Shim Jong Rae described the deserted metropolis as a 'ghost town'. He said: 'There are many foreign schools, hospitals, and amenities however, they're all too expensive. Everything is expensive'In an attempt to shape a clean-cut version of Manhattan, the city is dominated by a rectangular green space, aptly named Central Park, which is surrounded by cutting edge skyscrapers. Pictured is a mall near the parkAmerican Gale International - who own 61 per cent of the project - have been at the forefront and have never doubted its success. The plan was designed by the New York office of architect Kohn Pedersen Fox, while labour and funding has been provided by the metropolitan South Korean city of Incheon, which Songdo is attached toGale International admit that concentrating on quality of life meant 'what has probably missed the mark is for companies to locate here'. Pictured are empty bicycle racks in the cityOn weekends, the cycle racks are empty (pictured), the area is desolate apart from the odd stray tourist visiting the top of the 65-floor Northeast Asia Trade Centre, now South Korea's tallest building (pictured)The streets, footpaths and cycle lanes are strangely empty for such a large city, there's no presence of culture - no museums, theatres or cinemasBlogger Ian James, writing for Korea Expose , said it reminded him more of Chernobyl than the best example of future living. He said: 'Songdo is a new kind of city: Completely artificial, painstakingly designed, without a hint of decay or poverty, and nearly empty. It's a human desert'Far from giving up on the project, Songdo's developers are now going out of their way to entice foreigners, including Brits, with the construction of 'American Town' (pictured). The district offers luxury apartments with futuristic technology, US and UK-style education and cleaner living Currently under-construction, American Town will have three large towers - up to 50-stories high - and two smaller ones (pictured), serving 900 apartments and 1,000 businesses over 4 million square feet (386,000 square meters)Developers also hope to entice people from the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Germany, and New Zealand. American Town was announced in January 2014 with one official stating that 'already more than 1,200 units have been sold to foreign buyers'Developers are adamant that everything is going along fine, with Scott Summers, vice president of Gale International, telling NPR: 'It's a great place to live. And it's becoming a great place to work'
