I don't even know if the "Tour Phare" (beacon tower) is finished in La Défense, the Greater Paris' business district.
(doesn't look like a beacon, it's the one on the left, with a beer belly)
beautiful.

this
it's just fapping material for skyline fetishists and technocrats
for the rest, it's a fucking nightmare for infrastructures and transports, concentrating more and more people and jobs (180 000 in the last counting) in the same place, while everything leading to here is already oversaturated and overused
and they want to expand it more and more, it's just insane
Jaxon Hughes
fug those computer-generated pictures... I googled it again (hadn't in a while), turns out Tour Phare never was and will never be. Cancelled last year. In favor of Sisters Towers, 30% cheaper, 30% shorter (200m), and just so... bland...
Funny because I thought I had had a glimpse of Tour Phare (literally Lighthouse Tower) from afar, from Rue de Rivoli... :(
There are so many nice jobs in La Défense, it makes me dream...
Alexander Barnes
We want to build this dam to power the oil sands, but regulations here take decades. It was first proposed in 1981, might be finished by 2018.
Government wants it to be 51% done before the next election so if they lose the other government will be forced to finish it.
Connor Butler
something like "nonsense", or "not not not", esp. addressing a child

Is that only 2 lanes? Are you fucking kidding me?

In the UAE?
Too many to count. The entire country is literally under construction kek.
Austin Lee
Are oil sands still profitable with such prices?
Sebastian Murphy
>This thing is out of place. >not not not You are weird guys. Europeans are commies. Instead of building huge bridge with 6 lines for cars and two giant intersections they build a gay shit for pedestrians and trams.

They aren't profitable, but the big ones don't run at much of a loss.
What happens is you only need $10 million to start drilling for oil. You need $100s of millions to do a big oil sand project. So instead of small companies that go broke, it's big oil companies like shell that own % of the projects. They can stomach the losses.
It's cheaper to run them at a loss, then to just let them sit and have to start up again.
Dollar is down 25% with low oil prices. Problem was bydlos from all over Canada could go work there and make a lot of money driving trucks. Now they're all back home and poor because they didn't save anything.
Nicholas Jenkins
Well, since oil is not gonna come back it will be closed eventually.
Levi Jackson
This bridge is going to be built in Vancouver. It's to replace a tunnel. It's not that big a deal, there was a tradition to hold your breath while you would drive through the tunnel so it wasn't very long.
Andrew Brown
They were going to build a railroad on baffin island to haul iron ore, but I think low oil prices have stalled it.
Adam Reed
can a normal tram climb on a bridge like this? the highest quality skyscrapers are in Paris, no doubt
They are completely rebuilding Łódź city centre with a new train hall. There will be cool investments around.

It's a fact. Since now we have shell oil they will drag down any increase of price. If only India starts China-like industrialization with 2 digit GDP growth number then may be it will become expensive again.

Manitoba spent 4 billion dollars to make a back up power line from a big dam up north. It's a big mess.
Power poles are often the only signs of humanity in rural Canada.
Arabs and you are going to go broke. Russia can survive poor, but I doubt Arabs can.
Ryan Kelly
They aren't building to last then. In 100 years, when the Finnish population is double what it is now, that bridge is going to be more of a burden than a boon.
Logan Williams
Is dis spen? It looks somehow great, even though unconventional
Anthony Perez
If I was Jesus, I'd be really embarrassed my religion ended up creating this.
Jaxon Powell
I would help them you don't build bridge like this for the next 100 years
Jonathan Wood
>back up power line For what reason? Worries about terrorism?
Matthew Gutierrez
We have some basis for economical growth and since our """"""elites"""""" don't have free oil money I think they will start creating some actual industry, IT etc. I mean every economical prediction predicts growth here in 2017. That will be our first growth that is not based on oil prices. Cheap ruble provides growth of exports and if/when sanctions are gone we will have needed loans and techonologies for further growth.
Jace Reyes
Their population is decreasing sooo... They basically reached the perfect stable balance of population and environment.
Jason Taylor

Corruption hurts russia. Gazprom arena was estimated to cost much lower than it does now. 1 bln for a stadium is too much. Hope the arena is full every match.

Ayden Howard
This is a big project to make a hydro dam in Labrador, then send it to Nova Scotia so Americans can buy electricity.
Previously Labrador would send electricity to Quebec and they would jew them out of a billion dollars a year. They were really upset they couldn't get a piece of this pie.
Canada can be jews sending America electricity. We run our dams during the day when electricity is expensive, and then import it at night when it's cheap.
forest fire an ice storm can take down power lines too

New bridge over the Forth because the old one is showing some sign of damage. Had a crack earlier this year and pretty much cut off everything North of Fife from the rest of Scotland and Britain.

One of Trudeau's election promises is the Trans Canada Canal.
They don't have the route figured out entirely, that's why some portions have multiple routes.
In winter when the top freezes, Trudeau says it will be used by submarines.

One of the biggest projects going on is the complete revamp of the infrastructure between Schiphol (airport) - Amsterdam - Almere. New bridges, aqueducts, junctions, more lanes and so on. Started a few years ago and won't be finished before 2026.
Pic related is a recently finished aqueduct, the widest in Europe. The new highway will be 2x5 lanes and the old highway on the left will be demolished.

$50 oil is pretty damn expensive.
Oil was $5-20 from 1960-2004. It was only 1973 and 1979 and 2005-2014 when it was above $50.

New Royal Adelaide Hospital. Expected to be 3rd most expensive building and most expensive hospital in the world upon competion ($2.5 billion AUD) as well as the most advanced hospital in the southern hemisphere.

Olkiluoto 3. It was supposed to be the first EPR type nuclear reactor in the world and building of the powerplant started 2005 and was supposed to be finished 2009. The total cost was supposed to be 3,2 billion euros. By the autumn of 2009 Areva, the company who sold the power plant, had lost 2,3 billion euros on the project instead of making any profit. In 2012 they announced that total the costs had risen to 8,5 billion euros. In 2014 they estimated that the project will be finished 2018, nine years late.
Olkiluoto 3 would be one of the most costly structures ever built in the world, being more expensive than for example Large Hadron Collider. The energy output of the reactor is 1 600 MW, which is pathetic compared to it's building costs.

Was supposed to be finished for the World Cup, then the Olympics, but it keeps getting pushed and now the estimate is 2018 for the second line, and 2020 for all four lines.

At least they finished the light rail tram.
Matthew Sullivan
i like the building name
Dylan Lee
Also you guys should check SkyscraperCity, they talk about literally everything related to infrastructure, governance, buildings, landscapes, transportation, etc.
don't dismiss it, this tiny shit will eventually cost 20 fucking billons €
(estimated at 10 at the beginning of the project)

It's a vanity project that gives a private tramline to the 16 000 people living in Laajasalo. It's real purpose is to bleed tax funds for an endless construction project like OT3 nuclear reactor and Länsimetro. Many people are going to get rich on public funds, I'd like a piece of that pie too but unfortunately I'm not in the Hyväveliverkosto.
Lincoln Scott
Will be the biggest (single) lock in the world, so bigger ships can reach the port of Amsterdam again

Benjamin Sullivan

This motherfucker has been under construction since I was a wee lad.
Adrian Reyes
Rotterdam has no locks, just a straight connection to the North Sea
Amsterdam has locks on both sides so they can maintain their water level at the same height
Thomas Martinez
I guess it's combination of Frenchies being too optimistic with their offer, Finns being very tight with the standards and using cheapest possible workforce who fucked up constantly.

there are many things wrong with this, for one thing it has a shitton of canal go through an area that is already navigable by sea or other canals (basically any portion east of the western tip of lake superior, also that little bit literally going through a fucking island in the middle of the ocean in the west) and another thing is that this would be completely fucking useless.

The new Gotthard base tunnel, the world's longest and deepest, was finished this year on time and on budget. It's actually two tunnels, which will be used by both freight and civilian trains.
It was fun seeing all these EU heads of state come to the inauguration and act like they weren't jelly.
Hunter Stewart
Where is the car lanes?
Here in Gothenburg they are building a new car tunnel right next to the old one, because fuck hippies.
