The apartment buildings, known as &amp;#x27;danchi&amp;#x27;, were constructed from the 1960s - 1980s to replace burnt-out cities and house a booming population. Though they might not be quite as spectacular as what the Metabolists dreamed up I think they shared a forward-looking vision for what the modern world could be. &lt;a href=&quot;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;danchi-dreams.com&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;danchi-dreams.com&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
