GROUND is sinking in many building complexes in southern China's Shenzhen City where land has been reclaimed from the sea since 1994.
The complexes are in Shenzhen's Bao'an District, whose government spent more than 4 billion yuan on land reclamation.
In the Happy Coastal complex, where the ground subsidence is the most serious, a flat pavement has become a steep slope. In West Bank Tea City, the ground has now sunk 12 centimeters below the building's ground floor.
The ground subsidence has only occurred in complexes built on reclaimed land, according to yesterday's Guangzhou Daily.
Residents said their complaints were mostly ignored.
Many of the district's public roads have become undulating and parts of some roads have caved in, leaving several 1-cubic-meter holes.
Even the underground garage in the Bao'an District government's complex is showing signs of ground subsidence.
A resident surnamed Chen said the government is shifting the responsibility to the developers, yet the developers insisted the buildings were intact despite the subsidence.
