These multi-billion-dollar, audacious engineering projects are reshaping our planet. ~A Thread🧵
1. The Line (Saudi Arabia)
- $725 billion linear city project
- 110 miles long, 1,600 ft tall mirrored buildings
- Planned for 9 million residents
- Zero-carbon city with high-speed underground transport
- Construction began in 2022
2. Three Gorges Dam: A $37B Engineering Wonder
The biggest human-made entity on the surface of Earth. It's capable of elevating ships weighing up to 3000 tons, along with a volume of water roughly equivalent to four Olympic sized swimming pools.🛳️
2. In 1994, photojournalist Sebastião Salgado returned to his home in Minas Gerais, Brazil, only to find the lush forests of his childhood reduced to barren land.
His wife, Lélia, proposed replanting the forest, and over the next 20 years, they planted 2.7 million trees. This effort restored 1,500 acres of rainforest, reviving 293 plant species, 172 bird species, and 33 animal species, some near extinction.
