Description
Billions of dollars have been spent on megaprojects that looked impressive on paper but made little economic or practical sense. From Saudi Arabia’s The Line and Malaysia’s Forest City to empty airports, artificial islands, ghost malls, and unfinished skyscrapers, this video explores some of the world’s most questionable megaprojects.
Discover the stories behind Naypyidaw, Nusantara, Texcoco Airport, Ciudad Real, Mattala Airport, Konza Technopolis, The World Islands, Burj Al Babas, South China Mall, and the Ryugyong Hotel—and why ambitious visions often collapsed when reality, demand, politics, or economics got in the way.
