Dubai’s $30 Billion Dollar Abandoned City

Dubai is all about these megaprojects. They want to develop the cities of the future. In many ways, it seems like that’s exactly what the city is going to do. They are in the process of developing their own minicity inside of Dubai that has all of a luxury city’s finest features condensed into a small area of sheer excellence.

The Meydan City development looks to compete on several grounds to have the coolest minicity in the entire world. Meydan One is the proposed mall that is said to be the biggest one in the whole world. Then there’s the tower in the center of it. What would be the tallest residential property ever built.

This city would have all of the coolest entertainment features. It features cool things such as a huge ski slope, a go kart track, giant imax theaters, stages for performers, theater spaces and pretty much every other cool thing you can imagine. This city is not messing around. Not that Dubai has ever done anything the small way.

Unfortunately, none of this is likely to continue. Despite the fact that it was supposed to be completed in 2020, the entire project has had some speed bumps that might throw the whole thing off the tracks forever. A massive amount of debt, a worldwide pandemic and perhaps too much ambition has perhaps destroyed this entire thing. Only time will tell.

So which feature of this perhaps never to be seen development is the coolest? Only one way to find out!
