If these towns were to be saved or prevent young people from leaving to find employment in bigger towns or cities, development will need to include major industries and proper infrastructure. Massive turnaround needed.<br /><br />Thanks for taking the trouble to stop by and take pictures to share with us. I am touched by the state of affairs in these deserted towns. The shops in the last picture are in extremely bad shape and may not be able to be preserved. Those in the top two do not have enough aesthetics to preserve.<br /><br />However, it's good to see fresh paintwork on pictures #3 & 4 before entropy sets in.HappySurferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01444290549991093661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110857152936301451.post-32580373888028482182009-12-10T01:11:52.423+08:002009-12-10T01:11:52.423+08:00No these ghost towns cannot be saved.
