Ghost Cities

Ghost cities are urban areas with many buildings and infrastructure that remain largely unoccupied or underused. They often result from overambitious development, economic shifts, or planning misjudgments, leading to vacant residential, commercial, and public spaces. While some are temporary, others persist long-term, highlighting issues like oversupply, investment cycles, or demographic changes. These cities can symbolize economic excess or planning failures, but they also sometimes have potential for growth or repurposing as conditions change.
