Dead neighborhoods

I'm starting to understand the Ankara geography. Central part in normal, like all first world towns, with elegant neighborhoods and popular ones. But the surroundings are something particular; Ankara has developped over the hills, even though they are not very high, and they are using more and more hills to build the new neighborhoods. It's impressing how you travel for almost one hour to every direction and you keep on seeing newly built houses and houses in construction. All these new neighborhoods are separeted the ones from the others, each one on a different hills, even if they are all similar: skyscrapers, huge roads (huger than our motorways), some supermarket. And, that's what surprises me most, they look like dead: few cars, nobody walking, any visible human beings except in the supermarkets.
