Looks like China is taking the SimCity franchise to the next level LOL that's exactly what I thought when I saw those pictures.

I have a feeling (oh boy) when SHTF for the West, Africa will finally blossom. Think about it, if anything happens in the developed part of the world, where would the rich go to? What part of the world is open for a fresh start?
Perhaps it's pretty far out there, but if the Chinese elite want to continue living in luxury I guess they will need to take certain people with them, people that need housing and infrastructure that needs to be in place for when the time comes... Or maybe it's not just the Chinese that are involved, I don't know.

Army barracks in disguise? Maybe there is a far more intelligent way to take over a country than declaring war outright. Get everything you need in there first, rather like the Trojan horse.
Or possibly just a back up place to go in case of nuclear warfare or asteroid impacts devastating china. Extreme climate change occurring?

My understand is that the 'smart cities' are designed to accommodate large numbers of people populating urban areas. However, these places are going up in the middle of desserts not in urban areas. Typically people show up and urban areas develop out of necessity. In this case China is creating the urban area without the people; back asswards.
