Broad Town

Visit China's Changsha, See World's Tallest Building.

Changsha, the capital of China’s Hunan province, has just granted approval for the world’s tallest building. On the fifth of this month, the Wangcheng district government signed a contract with Broad Group, a local firm, which promised to put up the 838-meter tower in seven months.

The materials for the tower will come from Broad Town famous for its code of conduct.

The honor code rules at Zhang's corporate campus - Broad Town, where some 1,000 of his 4,000 employees work. The supermarket register is unmanned; people swipe payment cards. Dorm-room doors are always unlocked. All employees are expected to abide by guidelines laid out by Zhang in a booklet called "Life Attitude of an Earth Citizen." Tenets in the book include, "Whenever possible, travel by bicycle or public bus," and "Unless absolutely necessary, do not fly."
