At the research stage, the diagram maps out the investment and cash flow on properties across the globe. Large- scale development and land speculation began with urbanization in America. Proprietors in Chicago and Virginia could buy land cheaply and withhold it from market, if they have sufficient capital to carry it, until rising prices brought social prestige. Foreign investors are using London’s finest homes as real- life Monopoly pieces. A huge property grab by Chinese investors for immigration purpose is pricing UK homebuyers out of the market, whilst developers are directing more overseas sellers into the market.

The Chinese official’s overseas’ estate in Hong Kong Hong Kong is one of the popula places for fugitive Chinese officials to use investment, employment, family, shell companies to help people establish properties overseas. “It’s the beneficial for the developer to sell it and advertise.” “You can’t imagine what the developers can do with that. Some developers in Hong Kong, they turn over the regulations, you know. ‘Oh don’t worry. You can use the roof as a corridor.’ They turn things round just like that.” - critic’s comments Taking advantage of the new rules, the developers make full use of the diagrid structure in the building, to form farming platforms, stairs, walkways, living units, long span platforms, etc, as an ideal properties for chinese people’s investment. 10
