There are a lot of places like this in China, often a new planned suburb or district like a half hour drive from the regular city, and planned to house new government buildings, large event centers, new high speed rail stations, airports etc.
They often have this look with wide straight roads, massive intersections, and lots of residential buildings that aren’t occupied yet, and lack of small businesses, which is why western media calls them ghost cities i guess

You’re supposed to restrict access to housing so the streets fill up with homeless people!
