What's your opinion about these projects? Do you think the money is being spent wisely?👇
Thanks a lot for watching & supporting us 💛
US will get jealous again and again
My opinion is that there are more mega projects and that you just focus the video mostly in projects in anglosaxon countries.
All 15 projects have value for citizens. There ill always some opposition somewhere. On completion everybody is enjoying benefits of services provided. Planning can go bad, but ultimately it is in the interest of people/ citizens. India had lot of oppositions for Narmada Dam, now water is supplied to 4 states, people are better off then earlier time where water was not channelized. Islands in SCS lot of opposition, now what. China is getting stronger & firm grip in region.
I miss Fehmarnbelt-Tunnel trough the baltic sea connecting Denmark and Germany.
@@GeorgeVenturi I disagree with your opinion because he also focuses on projects in a China, Japan, India, and Saudi Arabia, which are Asian countries as well. (BTW, I meant that he focuses on one project in each of the countries that I mentioned earlier.)
The line city is the most delusional and extravagant project ever proposed and constructed. It is inconceivable how such idea might be viable in real life.
Glad to read a few months back that originally envisaged as being home to nine million people and costing $1.5 trillion to build, the city is now expected to reach just 2.4km and house around 300,000 people by 2030. Thank God someone came to their senses
@@larsstougaard7097 coming to the sense would be deleting the project entirely
Lmfao! Yeah people like yall said the same thing 100 years ago. And those people look like fools now. And so will yall.
@@larsstougaard7097 So instead of "the line," now it's just going to be "the hyphen."
The line seems more like a border wall but if they put a city in it then they can feel good about it all they really have to do is build one side and they accomplish what they are going after

California high speed rail is honestly worth it because driving 2 hours into work and 2 hours back is soul crushing, and it only gets worse as more people move there.
Yeah i bet there is drink service, Japan has it. Get smashed on the way to work sounds fun. I mean you don't gotta drive right?
I don't think you will want to take high speed rail to go to work. A high speed ticket is expensive.
with self driving cars coming...and remote work being a thing.... i am not sure Cali rail like worth it r
@@havencat9337 high speed rail is not used for commuting. It's used by tourists or business passengers. It is worth it.

18:20 300,000 residents in Neom. That sounds like a very selective group of people living hundreds of miles away from anywhere. I'd like to know the position and nationalities of those who will live there. Seems almost like a Bond villain hideout to me.

@@just_a_person9583 If you say so. People sometimes say that about projects for years until finally they forget about it.

You should do a report on projects with the biggest overrun by $ and percentage. As example, Vancouver Sewage plant budget at $900 mil, now $4 billion and construction stopped as everyone suing each other
Ha you should see what’s happens in Australia. $4-$10B becomes $50b in the blink of an eye whilst it’s under construction.

@@crazzykiphunter SALTY hahahahahahaa
Yeah I MAY start believing Neom will actually be for real when Sindalah is finished and people are traveling there.
Very interesting!
The Grand Paris Express is building 200km of new lines and extensions, which gives roughly 400 km of new tracks as the lines are dual tracks. More than 100km of tunnels had already been dug as of early 2024,, so a bit over 55% of the tunnels have been built already.
All the extensions pertaining to the Grand Paris Express project have already opened to the public in June.
So, line 14 is fully open from Saint-Denis Pleyel Northern transit hub to Orly airport in the South, since late June.
There are 23 new stations and roughly 34 kilometers of new rail based transit that has opened this year alone in Paris :
13 new stations and about 22km of metro extension on lines 11 and 14.
3 giant new stations and 8km on RER extension on the West side if line E (the regional express heavy metro).
7 new stations and 3.5km of extension on the circular tram line T3b.
Towards the end of next year, they'll open the first section of M15, the huge 75km long fully underground loop metro line circling Paris.
M15 South section will have 16 stations and will be 35km long. The two remaining sections of M15 should open between 2029 and 2031.
The BART 10km extension is outrageously expensive... That's about 1.22 billion dollars per kilometer of extension. About 5 to 6 times more expensive than a deep bored kilometer under Paris' very high urban density and pretty terrible soil conditions.
It's also about 7.4 times the cost of Barcelona L9-L10 which is a deep single bore design built under a very densely built and populated urban fabric. Barcelona L9-L10 costs about 165 million per kilometer of deep single bore... (that's including the 52 stations in the average cost per kilometer for a 47.8km line that's 91% in deep tunnels).
As for HS2, now that the Labour is in, maybe they'll restart the project and get either French or Spanish advisers to build their high-speed line efficiently and for a reasonable cost...
They didn't get any advisors for the development of the line at all?
Though aside of that I can imagine the UK line cost increases are partially also just inflation over the several decades the project was planned. And then getting through London and the area around it being more expensive then initially expected, in part also because I heard it turned in to effectively a partial land redevelopment scheme for some segments. Like protecting some green areas. Admittedly those can be worth doing long term, but it no doubt helps balloon the overall costs.
What also really stood out for me in this video on HS2 was how cancelling the extensions only apparently saved like 14 billion from the overall budget. And this even though those sections were pretty long themselves. Which also really gives the impression that particularly the London-Birmingham part was expensive. Though maybe I shouldn't underestimate their ability to some how have increased the cost of the rest of the line as well.
@@Quickshot0 It seems as if they precisely did every single "don't" of the good practices, a bit like New York and its subway building projects.
For comparison, the LGV SEA, a 330 kilometer high-speed line between Tours and Bordeaux in France that was built in the mid 2010's, including several station overhauls, a multitude of environmental mitigation features, hundreds of bridges, over and underpass, plus the acquisition of a little over 200% of the required footprint for nature conservation, only cost 7.7 billion euros...
It was 300 kilometers of new high-speed line, plus roughly 30 kilometers of branches and access ramps.
So, more than a 10 folds difference in cost.
The Grand Paris Express project mentioned in the video, costs roughly a third of the planned cost of HS2's first phases.
That's for building 200km of new lines in Paris, of which 90% are built deep underground, with 68 new stations on the new lines, and several others on the extensions, and a good chunk of the new lines and stations built under very densely built and populated areas.
London to Birmingham is equivalent in distance to the line length of the Grand Paris Express, but is only partially in tunnels whereas the GPE has a route length in deep tunnels equivalent to the distance between London and Birmingham as the crows fly.
Inflation can only account for a marginal part of the cost ballooning. It just that the UK, like all other English-speaking developed countries, has serious issues with infrastructure developments.
They've also used way too many consultants, and too much and not in the right positions, driving the cost to stratospheric levels.
They really should have asked the French or Spanish to manage the project. They may have had advisers, but probably not in the right positions, and didn't have the in-house expertise to drive such a project. With a wholly inefficient approval hierarchy that probably micromanaged.
If canceling the 2nd and 3rd phases only saved a small portion of the cost, then it further shows that they had real profound efficiency issues relating to consultants, to the design phase and the overall process.
The Euston tunnel planned between Old Oaks Commons and Euston station is 7.2km long, reaching a depth of 50 meters at its deepest point. It is quite comparable to the new large 8km tunnel that was recently opened as part of a larger project to extend RER linr E over 55km to the West of Paris.
The new RER E tunnel extension runs under the Western side of the hyperdense core of Paris and under the city's modern business district of La Défense. There are 3 major stations on this new tunnel, including a 6-platform station at Nanterre la Folie, a giant underground trapezoidal volume station with a walk-on glass roof on the surface at Porte Maillot, and the giant cavern of La Défense which was built using "mole techniques" through an underground parking garage because vertical access wasn't possible.
They've built it under a functioning expo center and extended its foundations, while navigating between the foundations of neighboring skyscrapers.
This project had major cost overruns due to issues with aquifers and building foundations, and yet, it only cost a bit over a couple billion euros.
While, right now, the Euston tunnel is postponed and expected to cost about 5 billion pounds (5.8 billion euros), even though it runs under much less densely built areas and through least problematic soil.
Everything is like this, the project has been badly managed from day one, going against every good practice of infrastructure development.
With massive costs sunk into the design phase, and inefficient practices and processes.
@@KyrilPG Fair enough, this comment is actually a bit illuminating to me. I've been wondering for awhile why there were what seemed like quite large cost differences between some western countries. But I could never quite figure out where the differences might be.
Hopefully they can do something about their inefficiencies in the future.
@@Quickshot0 The major divide is mainly between English-speaking and non-English-speaking countries.
The "transit costs project" did an entire research about the cost difference for transit infrastructure, and found a real difference between English-speaking and non-English-speaking developed countries.
There are many reasons for costs to be widely excessive in English-speaking developed countries, and they add to, and "compound", each other to a point where there can be a 10 fold difference in cost, with no apparent reason. There's a very interesting representation of this in a 3D volume, each and every inefficiency, or bad decision has a multiplying effect on the costs.
Like how can a very basic LRT line in a low density urban environment in the US can cost as much as a full-fledged, fully automated underground metro line in a very densely built major European city.
For example : two times the required number of consultants, and very in-house expertise to manage them, so they overdesign stations, then poor labor management uses far too many workers, inefficiently, etc.
It's like every level or step of the project multiplies the cost by 1.3 or 1.5, which doesn't seem that much, but at the end you have a project that costs 10 times the equivalent in other countries.
@@KyrilPG Ouch.
$32,000 an inch to build a 6 mile subway to serve 54,000. Absolutely ridiculous.
per day baby
It's america
It’s just inflation. That’s about $1.50 in 1970 dollars.
It’s amazing that the modern world is so interconnected that many different private sectors and governments work together from all around the world to complete these mega projects and colonize space. I’m not denying that we still have problems but the interconnectivity of humanity is amazing and mind blowing. I don’t know if this is weird but I love infrastructure and commerce 😊
Always worth watching a good MegaBuilds video
14:56 it’s clearly not over here, the Chinese hsr doesn’t use that “slightly hover above the track tech” it literally runs on rails, they don’t “slightly hover above the tracks” japan is building a maglev Ofc it hovers
The California Railway is the prime example of a much needed project that has been poorly planned.
This is a reminder that the tories should never oversee projects like this again. What's happening with HS2 and Hinkley Point is just embarrassing. They've had 14 years to loosen planning laws which are massively increasing costs on these projects and failed.
I work for a company that makes materials for HS2. Honestly I'm not surprised that costs are sky rocketing. They make demands no one else make that are bordering on ridiculous.
All those people who lost their homes and never had the option to get them back. Disgusting.
They should have started North and worked South?
Oh, and the nuclear powerplant is French owned...no profits for the Brits.
As someone who lives in an area affected by both the BART extension and the high speed rail, I think these are both fantastic projects. BART's main problem is that it does not extend to the largest population centers in the SF bay area, and completely misses the massive office parks where the tech giants do business. The high speed rail is another huge one I'm super excited about, as a few of the shots show just how insanely car dependent we are for traveling through what is essentially a long straight valley and some mountains. The land values of the coastal cities are so completely insane, and easing the choices for where to live if you want to work for FAANG companies would go a long way to easing the pressures that are driving so many of our neighbors out of their homes.
So Canada is spending billions on a plant that is exporting its resources, should be to keep Canadian energy prices low and sell what they don’t use like renewable energy
could you maybe post videos from some unpopular countries as well? would be nice to see their projects and how they are progressing for the better as well, rather than already popular mega projects from already known countries.
a tip i would give is maybe a video about The Country of Georgias new mega project which is an 300km-400km+ highway project which includes multipal tunners and bridges.
thank you and absolutely love your videos!!
Sydney Metro - It’s great. I travel on it but it often closes down on the weekends for ongoing track testing and building down the line in the parts still under construction. However, it’ll open to the CBD and to Sydenham (half the total kms in routes) on 4th August 2024.
Yes, the late evening and weekend closures (with bus replacements) are a pain but overall it is great.
Isn't it crazy that the USA is building 10km of track for 12.2B while Stuttgart is literally building a new massive central station and 50km of tracks for 11B?
The answer of that is very simple: The USA has become so car centric, that they just forgot how to build rapid transit (rail, BRTs, metros, light rail, you name it). So they make the construction so inneficient, that prices inflate a hell of a ton.
The Chinese also build 100km for 5 billion it’s called labor laws and too much bureaucracy
You don’t understand all the factors at play and don’t pretend you do.
@@DivinesLegacy Explain, let's see if you do. Because Stuttgart is also a city and there's also sewers and infrastructure below.
@@DivinesLegacy Ah, yes - please lecture us on the virtues of spending $32,000 an inch to build a subway serving 54,000.
Based on every single rider paying the current highest possible BART fare, it's only 43 years of daily operating to cover the construction cost alone.
It IS crazy, but has nothing to do with being “car-centric,” or losing the skills/expertise. The amount of red tape these projects generate make them an order of magnitude more expensive + requirements to only use unionized contractors (no corruption there of course). Some of that red tape has its benefits: I appreciate it when an environmental impact study confirms that a new bridge won’t kill all the sea turtles - but it’s not free.
I’m Australian living in Abu Dhabi. Could you please cover some of the projects on saadiyat island 🙏 some of the projects are so big I don’t even know what to think of them anymore. Or even Etihad rail
Love this video, very exciting mega projects coming up
According to ChatGPT, the cost of building a solar farm covering the 1.2% of the Sahara Desert that would be needed to supply electricity for the entire planet plus the interconnectors that would transport the electricity around the globe would be $10 trillion.
That sounds worth it to me.
I love how you say the California High Speed will bring different cultures together..... What are those cultures again?
Wow! just WOW! Enjoyed learning about all these international projects. Thank you! ❤🧡❤

Hello from Stuttgart!!
Great unbiased summary - what a wonderfully, magnificent, diverse world we live in!
Im surprised that he didn't mention the heated sidewalk for the homeless to pee on project in the United States. Part of our build back better plan. Major cutting edge and state of the art stuff going on there that the rest of the world can't keep up.
High speed train in India? Even the slower ones are dangerous. Well, all the best.
If we’re going by cost, Seattle’s light rail should be on here! ST2 and ST3 are the expansion projects expanding the link by more than 100 miles at a cost of more than $100B. A couple portions have opened, several more coming online in the next 1-2yr, and other large projects funded through the next decade or two.
You guys are doing great work - thank you!!
Thanks a lot :)
Mind boggling mega projects. It's insane!
Thanks for sharing
You forgot about the ellinikon in Athens wich is a park full of skyscrapers, malls and expensive hotels/houses that is way bigger than the central park
Point of order: Melbourne is Australia’s largest city, not Sydney. Sydney is Australia’s oldest city, however, and its geography and urban fabric pose unique challenges.
Sydney is technically larger in terms of area, although Melbourne is now more populated than Sydney
you're talking about population, he was talking about the area
@matthewdunn2034 As you are wanting to be technical Brisbane is the largest of Australia's six capital cities by geographic area and the third largest in the world, occupying somewhere between 1,140 km2 or 15,826 km² depending on which areas are defined in the process.
Melbourne is the largest Australian city by population
And I'm also surprised he mentioned Sydney's $25 Billion metro as Australia's most expensive mega project considering the south eastern stage 1 section of Melbourne's Suburban Rail Loop is already at $35 Billion and the whole project will be well over $200 billion before it is finished.
@@garystrahan4601 well I didn’t know that so thanks for the heads up! But technically, since you like it so much, I never said Sydney was the largest in Australia, technically.
The only truly megaproject of USA i can see here is the California High-Speed Railway.
Make a video on their newest mega project proposal a 2 kilometer tall tower rise tower
I like that many of these projects are public transport
I know it’s easy to gripe about some of these, as we see on the comments, but I find them inspiring!
Neom as a concept is completely idiotic. A straight line makes no logistic sense. How do you supply water and food to the millions you plan as residents? How do you move people from point A to point B? How does the city grow? How does the city manage waste? How will the city address high demand for the tiny sliver of beachfront property at the front? Will that cause economic and class inequality as the rich concentrate on one side of the line and the poor on the other? Will this just be Snowpiercer but on land and not moving? I have so many questions!
I’m with you
I think it makes transit a bit easier, that is, on paper, in reality travel times would probably be insane for the amount of people that it supports per unit length.
Sydney Metro is awesome, a completely different experience to the irregular heavy rail network. But the problem is that a lot of the lines are duplicating the existing network, and in terms of the grid of lines intersecting, they won't add much to connectivity. The Sydney rail/metro network, such as it is, is full of disconnections, lines that don't quite join, or stop at the end of spurs, or parallel lines that don't connect. Metro is a big improvement, but the network needs at least another 10 interconnecting lines outside of the CBD before you can really give up your car.
80% of people still drive to work for that reason.
glad to see stuttgart 21 here.. i live here over the last 20 years and experienced it all.. huugeee
Thats all pretty impressive 😮
😂. I love the inflection when saying, “and even capture rain water 😮”. Like it’s a revolution. A breakthrough in technology that will liberate mankind to reach new heights. For generations we captured rain water from our roofs in Australia. Our only water growing up came from the roof, and it’s still the same today for myself and a huge percentage of the population. Why the astonished 😲 tone?
A lot of these projects look like the are being built for yesterday's reality. With fully self driving cars coming online in the next 5-10 years along with A.I. advances that will make work from home even more prevalent, many of these projects will be obsolete before they are even finished.
So many of these mega projects are about moving people. Is it absolutely necessary to move so many people so far and so fast?
I was thinking the same. So many people can work while on a train, so if the journey duration is 60 or 90 minutes, it is not a big deal.
@@johncoles6976well it is a big deal… people get miffed if their dentist wants to do surgery on a train, if their post man drops their mail on a train, if their kids were taught on a train… there are literally billions of people who cannot “work on a train”
NYC's subways needs all the help it can get. Love to see investments in public transit here!
Thorough and interesting, quality entertainment Regis.
(But overall sound output is low on this, compared to previous and other YT videos; lacks dynamic range.)
This video showed me just how ungodly expensive infrastructure projects in the US are
Ask yourself why. E.g. HSR : US cost is 5-10 x EU cost per KM/ Mile.
Very interesting!
good video
"It can choose a route for emergency services to take the fastest route." You mean like Google Maps does for everyone already 😂
Google doesn't work in China
Selecting the most effective route for emergency services will almost certainly be integrated with getting other road users out of the way, in other words an integrated and interactive approach.
Number 1 priority of all countries should be energy independence. $1.5tn spent on a bonkers project like the line means you have been given absolutely way too much money.
Countries are actually wanted to go the complete other way. With renewable energy, being independent is very inefficient because the generation of electricity is so variable.
If all countries want to become independent then every country would have to build huge batteries to store all the energy (not a good idea)
Remember when people said Nuclear Energy is cheap?
Yeah... ask the UK.
Awesome megaprojects
An often overlooked benefit to these projects is hope! Hope that we will go to social improvement spending and not military conflict! Better to all be friends and break bread while visiting! One world! One people!
Check out the GTX in Seoul, Korea. I don't know how much money is being spent, but it's definitely a Mega project of 6 or 7 high speed trains that will connect the suburban areas just outside of Seoul. Normal subways in Seoul travel around 60kph, but the GTX lines will travel around 180kph. Commutes that would normally take 90-120 minutes by car or subway will be possible in 20 minutes. I don't know of other trains that travel that fast within a city rather than connecting cities. The first A Line should be complete by Christmas this year while the other lines are expected to be a few years away at least.

4 Days later and HS2 is confirmed dead, love the video but the government screwed the timing real bad xD
Considering that most of the projects on this list are had delays and are more expensive then initially planned, I would say that the money is not being spent wisely but I still think that most of the projects are necessary despite this reality.
myt favourite part of this video is how you pronounced Stuttgart :D
Hi from Canada :D
Salut!
The reason the budget doubles, triples and even more is that some people fill their pockets with the tax payers money.
Ummm… that is the key point of infrastructure development… to build investment, spend money to drive employment, materials etc etc etc… the end result of the project is the ends of a means. A benefit. Not the aim
I'd be totally on board for Neom, except that I would have designed it from the ground up as a self-financing project, with only minimal initial investment. Not even the 2.4 kilometers in length said to be the reduced current goal; I would have started with half a kilometer, and then sell or lease space in order to pay for the next half kilometer. The only initial investment should be power, water, sewage and roads to connect the initial segment to other regions, a small airport, and a basic harbor; then let the private sector start investing in it, and people to move in. Workers in the project should get free temporary housing within a portion of space in the last previously finished segment. Also, allowing large commercial entities to custom-design parts of The Line to their taste, I think would be essential. Let a shopping mall brand buy, say, a 200 meter section of The Line yet to be constructed, and let them design it to their own taste and vision. Open the project to other parties, in other words; don't limit it to the vision of just one guy.
11:16 $57B for a reactor which will only server 6B homes seems like a lot. Australia is currently looking at getting it's first power reactor. The problem is by the time people agree, the planning is done and the construction is completed, 20-30 years will have slipped by.
Government must run the country with tax money only. Government must not borrow money to build Australian infrastructure. Law should give space to the nation to suspend government through interim voting at least once in their term so that government remain controlled. We want the country will be liveable not converting to prison. Very unfortunate for the nation the way it is going. Future looks vulnerable. Best wishes to all Australian to stand together.
Thanks for this great video, and congrats on your French accent!
You forgot the $45bn 3GP Tengiz Project in Kazakhstan. I’m currently working there
Thanks for generating this well produced content. Sorry about all the cynicism in the comments.:)
Good projects for d country n peoples.
You have miss so many Indian projects which cost billions of billions dollars
For example Delhi and Mumbai industrial corridor, noida airport, navimumbai Airport. Delhi Mumbai express way much more
the fact that the US is just now finally starting to invest in high speed rail is sad. we’re so far behind it’s not even funny 😭
What's the point of being ahead when they'll all be eternal money pits, never make a profit and are beneficial to only a few overpopulated cities and regions?
There's a Dangote Refinery that's being built in Lagos Nigeria costing over $14B.
missed the Melbourne Metro Tunnel, which sits at about 13b+ and will be completed this year I think
the thumbnail looks like a station i build in transport fever 2
Regarding the Line. As with all mega projects it gets done in phases and as for the locals. Yes there were miss communications in the beginning due to differences in expectations, but that was resolved.
What about the Dubai Creek Tower ??
The new section of the Sydney Metro, from Chatswood to Sydenham, opens on Sunday, 4th August 2024. Also, just an FYI, it's Sydney "Harbour" not "Bay" 🙂
You forgot to include the 1,500 kms of new train infrastructure for the Mayan Train in Mexico, with phase 1, 2 and 3 open and phase 4 under construction to open by the end of 2024
They already covered it a few years ago.
The worlds longest underwater highway in Norway started, but is missing from this video.
