Actually, most buildings constructed in the last 10 years in big cities are expected to only last 20-30 years before being razed and redone.

The officials see this as a feature: real estate is just a huge jobs program, and the fact that they have to do it again just means more jobs on the future. Incidentally, the same construction techniques are used in India for the same reason, and hence are exported to Singapore and the Middle East so they can leverage Indian migrant construction workers
