Bill Gates has an incredible statistic: According the USGS' cement statistics, China has used more concrete from 2011 to 2013 (6.6 gigatons) than the United States in the entire 20th century (4.5 gigatons). It blows my mind but, then again, as Gates point out, look at Shanghai's evolution...

...and now imagine this happening in every city in China, from Beijing to Zhengzhou.

Awesome, but remember, the Americans have long been developed. They don't have requirements for concrete in the order of magnitude of what China has.
