10. Egypt’s New Capital
50 kilometers east of Cairo, Egypt’s new capital will emerge from the desert. With 20 million residents, Cairo has surpassed the capacity of its infrastructure, and it is predicted that by 2050, there will be twice as many residents living there, adding to the city’s already-heavy pollution and traffic.
The new capital would house six million people and have government buildings and parks larger than Central Park. Even the iconic Tower, the tallest structure in Africa, will be located in the new metropolis. The government offices have moved in even though the capital’s name is yet undetermined. The project has a total cost of $40 billion.

6. Padma Bridge
The majority of the land in Bangladesh is five meters below sea level, and the country has several rivers. Therefore, there are issues with flooding that are inhibiting the development of modern infrastructure and, as a result, its economic growth. The country’s capital will be connected to the south via the massive Padma Bridge project.
The World Bank initially contributed three billion dollars, but allegation of corruption by the Bangladeshi government led to the withdrawal of all donors. Then, in 2014, Bangladesh took matters into its own hands and began with its own money.
The bridge has two levels: an upper level with a four-lane roadway and a lower level with a single track railroad. The bridge is the longest in Bangladesh and among the longest river crossings in the world, measuring 6.1 kilometers in length and supported by 42 pillars. It will provide daily service to 75,000 vehicles and is projected to boost GDP by up to 2%. One must begin somewhere.

5. New Clark City
In case the present capital, Manila, becomes uninhabitable, the Philippines is preparing a second capital. The Philippines is a part of the Ring of Fire, a region of the planet with several active volcanoes and earthquakes.
Authorities have classified the neighboring towering volcano as highly active, and hundreds of thousands of people would need to be evacuated in the event of an eruption.
New Clark City, which is bigger than Manhattan and is being built in a strategic location north of Manila, will contain special economic zones and housing for 1.2 million people. Over a 30-year period, construction will be divided into five phases. In 2023, the initial phase will be finished.

4. Vietnam’s new airport
The government approved the construction of the long-term airport in 2021 since Ho Chi Minh City’s airport served 35 million passengers in 2019 despite not having the capacity to do so. With a capacity of 100 million people annually, the airport will be finished in three parts.
The nation was infested with mines following the Vietnam War. But by 2021, mining cleanup efforts were finished, and it was safe to begin development. 25 million people were able to be carried through the airport during the first phase.
The second phase will increase the passenger terminal’s capacity to 50 million passengers and install a second runway. This project is the most expensive in Vietnam’s history, costing 16 billion dollars.

3. Merdeka Tower
Construction is now underway on the tallest Mega skyscraper. By the time it is finished in 2023, the Merdeka Tower, which has been under construction since 2014, may be the last of its kind.
the other anticipated Mega tall skyscrapers have experienced delays, China has prohibited the construction of new extremely tall skyscrapers, and the US has no such projects scheduled.
It’s the sixth incredibly tall building in Kuala Lumpur and stands at 679 meters or 2227 feet, which leads me to believe that Malaysia wants to build the most spectacular skyline in the world.

2. Moscow International Business Center
Two additional towers are almost finished being built in Russia’s financial sector, which is still under construction. The district, which was designed in the 1990s, will house 300,000 people and serve as the financial center of the capital.
Construction initially began in 1995, but it was put on hold when the investments dried up.
Fortunately, 12 billion dollars had been invested in the project by 2014, when it was halfway finished, and work on the one Tower and the grand Tower resumed in 2019.
With a height of 445 meters, The One Tower will be the tallest structure in all of Europe.
And the Moscow Business Center’s construction will be finished in 2024.

1. Denmark’s energy Islands
In addition to building the first offshore wind farm in history, Denmark is currently building a whole artificial energy island in the North Sea. The nation is essentially building a power plant surrounded by wind turbines.
Geological surveys will be performed as the first step to make sure the seafloor is appropriate for installing foundations.
After that, four million tons of earth must be transported to the North Sea in order to build the island. The turbines will be three times the size of the Statue of Liberty and produce roughly 50% more energy than what is required in Denmark.
I absolutely love energy projects.
