Within a “Dystopian” Apartment Complex with Over 20,000 Units

Recently, a TikTok video went viral, showing off a massive building in China that is dubbed the “Dystopian Apartment” that can house up to 30,000 people. In addition to showcasing the building’s amazing interior and unique design, the video, which was posted by @fatheristheone, also stunned viewers with its sheer size.

Many people have read books about dystopian civilizations that show them as being unhuman or full of fear. Some see these stories as cautionary tales, even though they are frequently classified as fiction. A thirty thousand-person apartment structure with all the amenities needed has actually been built in China.

Essential Elements of the Dystopian Flat

Alicia Loo, the head designer of the Singapore Sands Hotel, created the Regent International apartment in 2013, which is located in Qianjiang Century City, Hangzhou. The skyscraper, which is 675 feet tall and has 36 or 39 stories, depending on your point of view, is S-shaped and can accommodate about 20,000 people. It is one of the world’s most densely populated locations, housing a large number of people under one roof.

The Regent International, which has more than 30 stories, has a number of amenities including restaurants, swimming pools, nail salons, grocery stores, and internet cafés. It is, in essence, all that one could possibly require in this “dystopian apartment.”

While worries are raised about inhabitants perhaps losing out on sunlight and fresh air, it is important to remember that remaining indoors is not required. Actually, most of the occupants are college students, young professionals, or influencers who value the affordability and practicality of living in an S-shaped structure.

Benefits of Residencing at Regent International
The Regent International provides residents with unmatched convenience because all necessary services are housed under one roof. With units available in different sizes and costs ranging from 1,500 RMB (about $200.00) to 4,000 RMB (just under $600.00) each month, affordability is another important benefit.

Some worry that the structure is too “dystopian,” but others applaud the creative design and call it “the most sustainable dwelling building on planet.”

The idea of a “dystopian flat” offers an original way to expand living areas without requiring a lot of land during the American housing crisis. Remarkably, the Alaskan city of Whittier has previously adopted a comparable idea, with a 14-story structure accommodating all 272 inhabitants and looking like a hotel converted into an apartment complex with a range of services.

Possible Negative Effects

Like anything, there are benefits and drawbacks to any idea. The phrase “dystopian apartment” is not coined arbitrarily; it begs the question of how so many people can live in one location. Americans may find it difficult to have limited personal space and few outside chances because they generally appreciate solitude and space. But these worries could be allayed by going for walks or by choosing the larger apartments at Regent International, which have balconies and offer a little respite from the common living situation.
