Not connected by roads, power, sewer, internet, etc.... it will go nowhere until its connected to the mainland.

[@urbaninternational]

Valid point

[@ShajahanE4]

How will they connect these small island together it's impossible

[@Rooni12986]

Superb video

[@urbaninternational]

Thank you :)

@@urbaninternational You're welcome

Legends say, if you stand on one of those islands and listen closely, you can hear the coral reef screaming

[@urbaninternational]

That's epic

[@Sir.light1]

@@urbaninternational you see it's a joke because these man made islands are destroying the coral reefs which marine life depends so much on

[@ItsMe-yv9jd]

No plumbing or electricity on any island, no sewage system either... why would ya?

[@nachoskyful]

they are still empty because it was a dumb idea

[@matthook2530]

It would be better if they connected it with a footbridge from the mainland

[@alberto6169]

Nice video but I think you missed the main point, they look like shit lol Not only the logistics of the project are extremely complicated and expensive, but the project itself looks frankly terrible. You can barely recognise the world map and the whole idea of these extremely small islands just does not work

[@H.Doc11]

There is big project I saw it call heart of Europe already built

[@urbaninternational]

Yes! That's one of the portions that has actually been developed, so it's cool to see some of the results

[@Goxilla]

Nothing appealing about Dubai and those who visit just want to see luxury items and skyscrapers. Boring sandbox

[@urbaninternational]

What city do you think would be a better topic for a video?

[@Goxilla]

@@urbaninternational Any city with a real culture

[@urbaninternational]

@@Goxilla Can you give an example

[@Goxilla]

@@urbaninternational The topic itself was interesting but the city of Dubai just isn´t (at least to me). But since you asked for suggestions then I´d recommend the city of Hamburg. There are currently a few interesting projects going on like the "Elbtower". It won´t be finished before 2026 though. In the meantime you could look into the "Elbphilharmonie" (also in Hamburg) and it´s cost explosion from about 80 million € up to almost 900 million €.

[@urbaninternational]

@@Goxilla Oh wow those sound super interesting, I will definitely look into these and hopefully start researching a video for something like this soon!

Some ambiotins are just beyond reason

Valid point

[@vixwza8553]

Clearly, continent islands would have been a better idea, still stupid, but better. Just recreate the world how it really is instead of making each country an island.

[@urbaninternational]

Hahaha that’s one way to put it
