Is it true that Ordos has a high GDP per capita compared to most other PRC cities? (70000+ RMB) Hanjoen55155 ( talk) 04:23, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
First Solar just signed a major agreement with Ordos City to build a huge solar plant there, I think it should be added to the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.24.232.238 ( talk) 18:59, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

I do believe the claim on the main article of having a million or so people is wrong. There is no reference so I've replaced it with one. [1] Mathmo Talk 10:52, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
Ordos City seems to mean both a town and a region. The same applies to Dongsheng. The use of 'City' to mean region ( prefecture-level city) would not be understood by 99% of English-speakers and needs to be clarified for their benefit. Benjamin Trovato ( talk) 02:31, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
Although this is not my area, I am tempted to rename this as Ordos Shi and explain what a shi is. In English 'city' always means a large urban area and never means a region or district. Does someone else have a better idea? Benjamin Trovato ( talk) 00:27, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
This discussion and the article skirt the VERY LARGE issue of the very large and almost empty real estate development project in the "Kangbashi New Area" of a city called Ordos. A great deal of the above nomenclature discussion appears to be an attempt to ward off or obfuscate the political, economic, and social implications of this large, geographically isolated, possibly non-rational urban project, possibly by shills of the PRC. A significant edit to the article will appear in a day or two. Tapered ( talk) 09:41, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Ordos City → Ordos – Ordos, like many other Chinese " prefecture-level cities", is not a city in the traditional sense of the word, i.e. not an urban area. Most of it is rural, and the average population density, at roughly 18 people/square, is very low even for a rural area. So the current name is quite misleading.

Is Kangbashi New Area its own district, or is it simply an urban settlement divided between the two existing administrative districts of Ejin Horo Banner and Dongsheng District? I've seen it both mentioned as a settlement without a status and thus split between the banner and district, and also as a new administrative district in and of itself. I need this information to clarify it on Kangbashi's article, here. -- Criticalthinker ( talk) 14:57, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

I read the Forbes article. [2] And Wade is quoted to have said, However, in 2017, the ghost city label is getting more than a little difficult to hang on Ordos Kangbashi. ...Of the 40,000 apartments that had been built in the new district since 2004, only 500 are still on the market.. However nowhere in the article does he also say - but it is not known if the apartments have been sold or just withdrawn from the market to bolster sagging prices. I don't know if it's vandalism but I have removed that unsourced false quotation because it's not found anywhere in the Forbes article. 49.180.123.43 ( talk) 06:08, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
