À propos de cet audio

Instead of towns that disappeared, today we look at towns that never existed. Through my research I’ve found four categories of these so-called Paper Towns

  1. A town planned out on paper that never really took off.
  2. A town that was never meant to exist, but was advertised simply as a scam for investors.
  3. An area incorporated for political reasons, such as a town on the edge of a larger town incorporated to prevent annexation into the larger town. The town provides no services, but exists on paper only.
  4. A copyright trap.
