Most Impressive Megaprojects In The World

While the official criteria for a megastructure may be up for debate, they all have one thing in common: they are massive engineering undertakings and can take years upon years to complete, as well as billions of dollars. But if city planners, architects, designers, and scientists don’t look to the future, then who will? And while structures like, say, the Egyptian pyramids or the Great Wall of China have managed to withstand the time and continue to remain marvels of human ingenuity, there are plenty of megastructures today that will leave your jaw on the floor. And you can’t forget about all of the proposed megaprojects, some of which are quite literally out of this world. So join us for today’s video, where we take a look at the top 15 incredible megastructures!

the last project is ultra mindblowing in both budget and architect aspect

My family and i dont need this kind of entertainment, a clear night under stars, a ride with our inflatable boat, a walk trough the forest when it is snowing. How many people did see the milkyway when the sky is perfect.

I'm rather enjoying the solitude of living in the countryside...
Its peaceful...
Nothing but the sounds of nature...
I've never really liked cities, malls, or any place so crowded you cannot think...

To each his own, but nothing mentioned here impressed me at all...

All those people wanting to build rings around the
planet, you should check out "What if the Earth had
Rings"? Among other things, shade around the rings,
etc and many terrible things, so a few idiots could
travel faster. It will be exceedingly difficult, if not
impossible for those horrible things to be mitigated.

2:36 and 2:42 These pics aren't from Dubai, this was the concept art for Big Snow at the American Dream Meadowlands mall in New Jersey...I know because I've been there lol (a Hard Rock Cafe hasn't opened there yet however). Not to mention, Dubai already has an indoor ski slope at the Mall of the Emirates called Ski Dubai. So I doubt they really need another one.

Also, the Narendra Modi Stadium has a capacity of 132, 000 while the FFR Grand Stade will have a capacity of like you said, over 80, 000...Narendra Modi still wins

I know you chose the Khan Shatyr Entertainment Center, but the whole city of Nur-Sultan itself is one impressive megaproject. I mean the Kazakh government completely redeveloped the city to make it the showcase city of the country once it was selected as the new capital. Complete with stylish landmarks and even a presidential palace. It's like how my grandpa rebuilt Pyongyang from the ground up after it was bombed by US forces during the war to make it the model city of Juche.

Hello guys wow interesting city cool
😲😊😁😎🙈✌️

[wtfmanicanthaveaname]

imagine living in an 82k seat stadium? Meaning its well over 100k capacity for concerts with standing room on the field. Once U2 played at the rose bowl in Pasadena CA and it took me nearly 2 hours to go 2 miles because the concert traffic and thats abou 1/3 if not less the size of this stadium. It would take you 7 hours to get home from work if a concert is happening.

[Vntilator]

I find it weird that the700 Mile Norwegian "floating highway" is missing in this video when it comes to megaprojects.

[amberloving]

Anyone else disappointed that we were lied to? Most of these mega structures don't even exist!

[jamesnash]

Wow what a wonderous structure. Did they build that with cement woooah cool structures and are appealing to the eye THANKS WHOO EVER BUILT THOSE STRUCTURES YOUR COOL.

[Hillers]

At 4:00 ...this is all manufactured "fun"...When I went to to a foreign country, I wanted to see the sights and attractions that made it famous...when I was in Italy, I didn't go to a mall, I went to Rome and the Coliseum, the Venice canals, Pisa (and, yes, I went to the top of the tower) and Pordenone (the best pizza in the world!!!!)...I've been to many countries...but never went to a mall in them...if Dubai thinks they can attract millions with a shopping center in the middle of a blazing heat, well, good luck to them...

[XViTNg]

Most of these are just silly. and then all the Sci Fi ideas shouldn’t be on this list.
I mean I can conjure up some crazy dumb idea like “an intergalactic worm hole teleportation highway” that hasn’t been built yet.

[pieceD]

I really wanna see the World Ring
Cant we play with gravity ?
Building it on a perfect place where the speed rotation and gravity of our planet would hold the Ring ?

[puco]

Read Larry Niven's "Ringworld" from 1970, a classic sci-fi novel.

[excelsior]

The first one looks like a giant starfish.
