10 Biggest Megaprojects in The World 

I watch a lot of these types of videos and i have to say, the music you use on every video just hits the spot for me.

Will never forget my little mishap in Petronas Tower: As a young engineer, was working in Floor, I think it was 82, to prepare a demo. First time there and also generally never been in such a high building, so I was curious what's on top - but elevators required a code I did not have. So went into the emergency stairway, w/o much success, all doors above me locked. Going back down to 82 - and also locked... all one way doors. (...) Took me over half an hour to get down, soaked, no climatisation there - and man was I relieved when THAT door on level 0 opened... Had some tough explaining to do, with the guards :-)

Great Ethiopian renaissance Dam is loading,thank you for looking around and including in this video

I love how Elon's unfinished megagigafactory makes the list but Hyundai's and VW's factories don't, even though they are five times bigger and finished.

@Underworld, check out at 10:03 the location is in Abu Dhabi, the Capital of United Arab Emirates- UAE. (Not Saudi, as you mentioned) :)

An entire city in Quatar cost the same to build as Twitter was sold for. That shot is crazy

Did Oki do this video? I kinda sounds like him, and the info/research level on this video feels really high quality compared to other “top 10” videos on RU-vid 🥰 either way, got my sub!

Holy cow- I really do have to get out more often. There's a whole world out there and it's bigger than I imagined.

Interesting fact about the Burj Khalifa. It does not have a sewer system, so every day trucks have to come and pump out the poop from the residents. I wonder how they missed that design flaw?

Jubail Island is not in Saudi Arabia. It is located adjacent to Abu Dhabi in the UAE.

For projects like this, yes!!! Is nice to spend money. Not for war. Beautiful work.

Skyscraper buildings that seem so beautiful to look at are just an aesthetic hazard Consolidating a wide range of geological structures into one place only increases the risk, meaning that earthquakes caused by high-rise buildings are becoming more common.

Congratulations to Civil, Mechanical & Electrical Engineers! To Architects too!

One looks to the future for so many things like this, but have we made sure that a GRB or CME won't put us all out of business, maybe forever?---Seems that (especially regarding the possibility of a CME) this should be a first priority.

glad to say i once took a dive into the Marina Bay Sands swimmingpool , just amazing

How much natural sunlight would you get every day if you lived in The Line? An hour? Two?

For the last project: a map would be nice

16:54 I like how that boat drifted. 🤣🤣

The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance dam(13:55) and the dam's icon Eng Simegnew Bekele (RIP)

A coming earthquake will be a disaster to these projects😮

I got a chance to work at the Gigifactory in Reno, NV really amazing

I'm proud to see The Grand Ethiopian renaissance Dam(GERD) in the list🙂

Hold on… forest city cost $140k apartment in forest city in 2017, it’s empty and only 5% occupied but prices are 10x higher?? Doesn’t make a lot of economic sense

Jubail island is not located in Saudi Arabia, it is located in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

That is incredible👍and am proud my mama Ethiopia ☺☺

The line looks like something straight out of a futuristic movie but I absolutely love it

I’ve seen that Giga Factory outside of Austin. It’s off the tollway that connects San Antonio Metro to Austin minus all the traffic on I-35. It’s like two Amazon warehouses and some. Smart location too since it’s not far from Austin’s Airport and if they needed to expand that could

Amazing! Thanks!

How are these the 10 biggest? You missed the Kashagan Project, Kazakhstan ($120 billion), Gorgon Project, Australia ($60 billion), Kearl Project, Canada ($33 billion), not to mention many others such as Simandou, GLNG, Sakhalin 2, etc. I could go on. Seems like you just randomly picked 10 expensive projects.

I wonder if any of our modern structures will survive thousands of years to be later found by future civilizations if ours collapses due to natural events or nuclear warfare. Just how we found the pyramids, giving us a glimpse of an ancient, lost civilization with no explanation of how they were built.

A lot of these mega projects in the middle of the dessert just seem completely soulless. There are some things money can't buy

If Forest City is lacking residents, why did property prices increase? Meet the market where it's at and drop prices to get the city underway.

By the way the picture that you used on the profile of video is grand Ethiopian Renaissance dam.

you should have added metric sizes as well since the whole world is using it

The Deltawerken in the Netherlands, a project which took about 50 years and makes the Netherlands a safe place.

Really enjoyed this

The Line will never be built.

How Long Can the Earth keep produce ressources for this madness…

PETRONAS TOWERS ARE JUST STUNING!!!👍👍👍

The human mind has some endless kaleidoscope of creation ideas, human mind ULTIMATE CREATION

It would be good to speak in meters as well, the audience that you have is diverse

What about the Mayan Train in Mexico, is really BIG

Never been here this early, today must be a good day

>youtube recommends me the video >opens the video >the video is on feets instead of meters/kilometers >dislikes and closes the video

Still cant believe people flock to gambling. Guess theyve never been broke.

I thought this was supposed to be a video about current Mega projects not ones that have already been completed

My best friend, OMG! So wonderful! I really love this! Thank you so much!

I wonder if the Saudis even considered that the mirrors on The Line would create a scorching hot death-ray from the Sun's reflection.

4 billion cubic meters of water... per day? per week? per millennia? It's kind of a meaningless measure without a timespan. Similarly, "employs 20,000 workers per month" doesn't mean anything. Or, it just means the same thing as "employs 20,000 workers". In the first case an amount was specified when a rate was needed. In the second case a rate was specified when an amount was needed. Otherwise, interesting stuff

People act like earth quakes don't already do enough damage.. It's just the bigger it'll fall when it does

What about the megaproject that is the longest undersea tunnel in the world between Denmark and Germany?

Also include metric measurements!

Very nice presentation. Thanks.

What them should we go with for our new Waterpark? Oil refinery 😂😂

Who is proud to be part of Ummat e Muhammad Saw😍😍😍

They shall live for the rest of their lifes only in steel, concrete and glass!!!! These people are completely insane!

Amazing Concept 👍

Hi, how would I get in touch with you? Thanks! Love the content.

Giggidy Giggidy .... Futuristic Stuff For Sure 😄😄

#7 - the Saudi "line" project may be energy sustainable, but what about the thousands of confused birds that will crash into the "mirror"?

TQ reaction my country Malaysia 🤜🤛

tHE LINE WILL NEVER GET FINISHED

The largest ever infrastructure project in the history of man is the U.S. Interstate system. It has cost over 30 trillion dollars since it began in 1953. And it is still being expanded.

Let's ride the mechanism!!!

I think buildings should be measured by the top floor they have that you can put a office in. dont count the pointy decorative top

17:55 Do we still say "a fourth of the route"? No quarters anymore? 😂😂

The “Line” looks like hell on Earth to me. You couldn’t pay me to live inside that thing

For those that live outside of US, is adding “or…. Metres” that hard?

largest manufacturing plant in the world is Volkswagen in Wolfsburg (area at just under 6.5 million m²)

All these cool projects going on in the world, meanwhile here in the USA potholes should be our new mascot

I'm new to stock market /Crypto and would like to invest but I've go no idea on how to make good profits. Pls what's the best approach you'd recommend?

No. 10 Petronas towers and No. 9 Marina Bay Sands were built by South Korean construction companies as was Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Those are some incredible construction engineering feat. I wish they also had the technical expertise and engineering ability to design them as well rather than actually build.

Ah yes, my favourite of Chinas four main rivers, “the river”

The line will be the equivalent to prison. Good luck🤦🏻‍♂️

Proud to be Malaysian.. 🇲🇾

Did you here about the earthquake

Should do a version 2 of this

The line sounds a bit far fetched. Doubt that it'll get to anywhere near the length they want - then they got to keep the aircon on and keep it running - for how long ??

Leave Elon out of it.

Ethiopia will be the new super power.

Interesting stuff, but no mention of the UK's white elephant HS2 rail project, about 100 billion £/$

#5 - Jubail Island is in Abu Dhabi -UAE (a small correction)

The Line seems insane!! Too claustrophobic

Corrections: Your talking to Al Jubail Island in Abu Dhabi, UAE not Al Jubail in Saudi Arabia that are two different places in two different countries.

La infraestructura de una gran y hermosa ciudad es gracias al poder del dinero pero bien invertido sebe hermoso

The cost to build the Marina Bay Sands was the same as the New East Bay Bridge In SF Bay California. The corruption in Calif. must be staggering... How do they get away with it?

One thing I've always wondered about with these videos -- and maybe they say it but, if so, I miss it -- is the countdown from the best to worst/most to least or the opposite? For instance, in this video is the Patronus Tower the largest megaproject or the smallest of the large? Just curious. 8. Forest City, Malaysia -- yes, that's the smart thin to do: Raise the prices of these incredibly unpopular apartments. Because... huh? That makes no sense at all. 7. Does anyone else find it either highly ironic or extremely telling that the Saudi Prince, of all people, is investing in sustainable energy? I find it incredibly creepy. I also predict it will be a massive failure. Didn't they hear about what happened in Malaysia? Ditto Basail and Lasail. Here's a tip: With global warming becoming worse every year, no one -- and I mean, NO ONE -- wants to live in the hottest part of the world. If they were smart, they'd build in Canada. Just goes to show you that money and brains are often mutually exclusive. FYI : Ethiopia, Egypt and Sudan are not different counties. They're different countRies. 2. Hinkley Point C power plant. It's a good thing it will work until the 2080's-- it's going to take that long to pay for itself. 1. The Chinese water project should be completed just in time for their first major draught.

Thank you for the fascinating compilation, especially the ambitious project in China. But the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, with that submarine sandwich style skyway, is one of the most *grotesque* architectural monstrosities I've ever seen.

very cool building

Wonderful video... thank-you

Jubail Island as depicted in your images is in Abu Dhabi, UAE, not Saudi! Al Jubail is an area of Saudi.

A very awesome collection, but an often dismaying one. If the fat cats want to help humanity I can think of better ways then gigantic vanity projects. Elon Musk is so brilliant and yet so utterly stupid. Tesla cars are the envy of millions worldwide, but hey they're electric and that's dumb as a box of rocks. Thanks for this amazing production in any case and for pronouncing coup de grace correctly -- nobody ever does :)

You could pay a million for an apartment in Forest City, or you could squat for free and no one would know 😂

The Renaissance dam from Ethiopia is just WOW 😱 ! The sleeping Lion is waking up . Go Ethiopia 🇪🇹 !!!

Never knew cryptocurrency could be so challenging! Kept losing my trades and running back here on RU-vid videos to learn more about all this video but is not helpful. I need help

Kuala Lumpur is a melting pot of truly ASIAN [Malay ethnic/heritage (an Austronesian ethnic group native to eastern Sumatra, the Malay Peninsula and coastal Borneo), Chinese heritage (China ethnic/heritage, worlds largest populated country), Indian (India ethnic/heritage, world 2nd largest populated country) and many many more ethnicity).

What's all over your hands? "Oh, this is just Malaysian culture ooze."

Thank you very much.... The ethiopia renasance dam is one of world beggest dam

The Chinese plan to divert water across the country could become one of the largest ecological disasters in the world (besides all the others they've done of course). You cab find videos about it online but it's things you don't realise as an outsider such as how the south relies heavily on ample water supply for growing rice.

Thanks for these informations. Please, if you also include metric measurements, a large part of your audience will understand better. ** Merci pour ces informations. Svp, si vous indiquez également les mesures métriques, une large part de votre public comprendra mieux.
