Great mini-doc. about why recently most megaprojects tend to fail

“How to build a green megaproject (and how not to)” – a ‘DW Planet A’ documentary

In the western world, most large-scale infrastructure projects are completed at a snail’s pace due to lengthy planning, contractor lack of coherence* and last but not least permitting processes (/the proverbial “red tape” / bureaucracy).

The quicker they meet their quota of workers the more money they are paid.
