ala Posted August 7, 2004 at 08:29 PM Report Posted August 7, 2004 at 08:29 PM Well, Shanghai is built on top of marsh lands (soft Yangtze delta soil). Combined with excessive groundwater pumping, it's going to sink. They need to pump more concrete. Beijing is sinking much much more. Mainly also due to groundwater pumping. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/afp_world/view/97179/1/.html Quote
