Mega projects seem to be popular lately.
Perhaps MBS set a trend.
- aprilthird2021 2y agoHis trends all suck, especially killing dissident journalists with American citizen children
- ysofunny 2y agolately? I think that most cathedrals are historical mega projects
- cowsandmilk 2y agoMBS was a teenager when this project started; he had little influence here.
- rqtwteye 2y agoThe museum makes a lot of sense. The new capital they are building seems a little crazier.
- dyauspitr 2y agoAll massive scale building is good. Even the unused ones, like Myanmars massive capital and china’s ghost cities. I remember when Reddit constantly whined about how Dubai was stupid to build a massive metropolis out in the middle of the desert.
- TeaBrain 2y agoDubai isn't a very good example. If anything, it just serves as a example of the ignorance of the comments you were reading. By the time Reddit came into existence, Dubai already had an impressive skyline and had been well established as a thriving trading and business hub. It's also not in the middle of the desert. Dubai is a seaport on the Persian Gulf. Dubai was also a well-known city in the region long before the building of the skyline. The ghost cities, Myanmar's capital and the new planned Egyptian capital are examples of trying to invent a city inorganically from scratch.
