7 Cities That Shouldn't Exist | Built Where Life Should Be Impossible

SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHANNEL:    / @open-roads-travel   Some cities should not exist — a whole town living under one roof, a desert city that moved underground, a settlement so high the air itself runs thin, and a city built on the open sea with no land beneath it at all. This documentary explores seven cities that shouldn't exist, from Whittier in Alaska and Coober Pedy in the Australian desert to La Rinconada in the Andes, Makoko in Lagos, Hashima Island in Japan, Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong, and Neft Dashlari on the Caspian Sea. Each was built where life should have been harder — against cold, heat, altitude, water, or even the law itself. And each survives for the same hidden reason: not because life there was easy, but because something there was worth the price. Watch until the end to discover the quiet logic behind every one — and why a city lasts only as long as people have a reason to keep paying the price of living there.
