The gigantic Regent International Apartment Complex in Hangzhou defies typical apartment living by housing a population size comparable to a small town. The S-shaped architectural behemoth towers 675 feet above the city, containing 5,000 apartments and extensive shared facilities.
Residents can access everything from shops and swimming pools to schools and medical clinics without ever leaving the complex. Studios rent for about $210 a month, while larger units with balconies cost roughly $570 — a fraction of New York City’s rental market.

However, living in such a structured, high-density environment generates concerns over privacy loss, noise, and social stratification, as amenities and apartment quality vary by floor level.
The complex represents both an impressive feat of engineering and a complex social ecosystem, sparking lively debate on the future of dense urban living.
