Chinese Cities To Build Subways
“The total number of those in China living in cities is nearly double that of the total US population, and a quarter more than that of the European Union. The annual net growth of Chinese urban population ranks first in the world, as does the scale of urbanization.
Among the 655 cities in China, 23 have population exceeding 2 million, and 35 have population of between 1 million and 2 million. The sheer size of cities is pushing local governments to invest more on subway building to reduce transport pressure. So there is nothing less surprising than seeing many Chinese cities digging underground to provide solutions.”
