Lianyun Real Estate Development in Jiangsu Province, China
Lianyun real estate development in Lianyungang, Jiangsu province, is relatively new, but its low occupancy rate means that the development is effectively a ghost city.
The development was constructed on reclaimed land, in an area that was formerly wetlands.

江苏省连云港市连云新城
2017年10月22日。江苏省连云港市连云新城。高投入的城市建设和低使用率成为了与海争地的现象级产物之一,新建的城市新区和经济开发区形如鬼城,只有因粗犷发展模式而不断退缩的滨海湿地成了唯一的牺牲品。

Land Reclamation Projects Threaten the Last Remaining Coastal Wetlands in China
The speed and scale of land reclamation is the primary threat to the environment of China's coastal wetlands. During land reclamation projects, huge changes take place in the local biodiversity and habitat of migratory birds and other species, but also for those fishermen communities who have been closely bound up with the coastal wetlands from generation to generation. The reclamation projects that are occupying the coastal wetlands illegally and the poor supervision of land use after the reclamation have caused great damage and threats to the natural coastal wetlands and local biodiversity.
To protect the 800 million mu (1mu=0.0006667km²) wetland in China and preserve the national ecological security, it is necessary to effectively delineate and implement the ecological protection “red line”, a set of ecological guidelines issued on February 2017 by Chinese central authorities that will declare certain regions under mandatory and rigorous protection.
