Forest City, a luxury development in Malaysia, is banking on tourism to shed its ghost town image.

Country Garden, one of the largest developers in China, spent $100 billion building Forest City. The developer promoted it as a "living paradise" meant to house 700,000 people in luxury high-rise condominiums and villas.

The reality turned out to be different. Today, Forest City is a ghost town, one of several abandoned or near-abandoned housing projects in the Malaysian state of Johor.
