中国：中国的大城市比美国的更发达吗

Are Chinese big cities more developed than American ones?I have been to Shenzhen, Beijing, Shanghai, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and a few other cities in China and US, and always Chinese cities looked cleaner, more organized, and more urbanized. What happened to the american cities? They used to look more developed, but now they look so behind.Jonathan Buttall, Retired ProfessionalAnswered Jun 25I have been to Beijing, Xi’an and Shanghai. I grew up in the greater New York City metro area.I used to think NYC was the human center of the world and the ultimate city. When I went to Shanghai and Beijing, I realized that the Chinese cities look like they’re a century in the future, and dwarf those in the US.The Freedom Tower in New York City (I will not call it the World Trade Center because I respect those who died on 9/11/01) would be lost if put in the Shanghai skyline. It’s as high as the third highest building in the photo (and yes, China is working on it’s pollution problems just as the US president is bringing it back to the US)Have any of you noticed that most of the buildings in US Cities all look alike?As for the exaggeration of so called “ghost cities”, those are simply large empty developments at the edge of hugely populated cities in China. You can see ghost neighborhoods in Newark and Detroit where the race riots of the 60s took place.
