The roof of an apartment turns into a motorway in China !

As China's population grows, the government is looking for ways to take advantage of empty spaces in the country, even if it is above residential buildings

As we know, China is the first country in the world population, with a population of 1,373,541,278 people in 2016, accounting for 18.75% of the world population.

A motorway on the roof of a building in China

The Chinese city of Chongqing is known for its rugged mountainous terrain. To that end, engineers have struggled to find unconventional ways of building the city's infrastructure. Therefore, the city was famous for its unusual ways.

The lack of flat space has forced officials from planners and engineers to think outside the box for practical solutions. One of the innovations of the engineering team is the construction of roads consisting of 15 ramps, eight different directions and 13-storey pedestrian bridges! And a famous residential building with a railway built on its roof to pass the train from above!

The latest innovation by the architects of Chongqing City is the construction of a motorway on the roof of a five-story building

The images published for the road through the social networking sites soon became the talk of the devotees and many Internet users, considering that these engineering phenomena can only be found in China

The unique road built on a building helps people get to their homes easier and faster. The five-story building is located on the side of a hill, in fact an indoor parking lot of a residential complex on the hilltop, and the first floor of the building is used as a roadside shop

Without this route, residents are forced to take an elevator or walk up the hill base along the road to get to the residential building. But in this way, residents can drive their cars along the new road to the residential building and then park their cars on its side, thus solving the problem

The roof of the building is equipped with specialized materials to reduce noise and disturb the cars. Thus, hardly any of the moving cars can be heard

In conclusion we are still waiting for China for more unique engineering wonders that amaze us every time!

Outstanding post! Thank you for sharing.

Thanks a lot

Very interesting. I can imagine garden on the roof, but motorway...!

Thanks
In china as every thing is possible
haha

I can't imagine living in that apartment building. I'ld be paranoid about the roof caving in

Would it be noisy in the flats below, :)

I think this

Yea I saw a video on this how smart @ahmedezzat

Did you liked the video

Thanks for sharing!
Also check the book "Made in Tokyo" from atelier Bow-wow, there are plenty similar examples of such a "creative urbanism".
best

I will check it
Tokyo also has a smart persons
