by Andrew Caringi3..2..1..cover!In China’s largest-ever demolition, it took 2.5 tons of explosives and 75,000 detonating fuses to clear more than a million square feet of outdated apartment buildings.Zhengzhou is one of China’s largest industrial hubs, and hundreds of affordable housing structures were constructed during a building boom in the 1980s and 1990s.Now, the city is trying to rebrand by rebuilding. New residential buildings and commercial centers will emerge from the rubble to give the city a new look and its 9.5 million residents a new future.As the saying goes, gotta break some to make some.
