i feel so sorry for every soul that went there to work so they could provide for their families back home. i hope all of those f***ing disgusting slave masters rot in hell when they die

Damn going there soon, bout to check this video out

My mom got a great teaching opportunity at the time.

A company over there was looking for experienced American/English educators and flew them all out. I was young so I went as well, along with others' children.

Stayed at the Intercontinental for the first month for free until our housing was set up.

Damn

This nigga Kanye 2

Where has this channel been all my life, damn. This man is legit

Brazil’s capital city, Brasilia did almost the same and I bet it’s more of a contradiction of planned utopic cities. There’s a documentary on that subject too.

And some Soviet cities too.

You do know outside the traditional cities like boston almost all of the US is planned very strictly too

Uhh I mean planned planned city from scratch

Plenty of those around too especially towards the west coast

Not to mention lots of neighborhoods

Planning isnt the problem

The problem is being an oil rich state filled with tasteless schmucks with no sense for aesthetics or soul

And who believe in caste-like systems

Then Brasilia is bit same wumbo

Yikes

the suggestion the guy in the video brought up about designing a city that would be classic arabic but mixed with modern architecture sounds fire

the poo trucks poobers

Honestly there isn’t anything special expect for huge shopping centres and skyscrapers

No soul, no history, I was there on layover and there isn’t much to do

In P.R. I feel like Future in Dubai

If you didnt know that dubai is traeh and hell before this vireo then hold the L

What is the cost of “beauty”?

Pyramids needed a supply of cheap labour/slaves
So do the skyscrapers
It’s just how it is

We strive for grandness, but that comes at a cost.

The best buildings made in an ethical manner, really aren’t pretty, but maybe that’s ok.

As a society, we don’t celebrate such ethical endeavours tho. No one would know Dubai existed if it was ethical

(This is not a pro Dubai post, just thinking about society overall)

All these videos showed up in my home page too

Ok this made me laugh irl 😂😂😂

……..sounds like the United States

People out in the boonies really got dubai in their heads like that?

Great city. Very fun to visit for a week or two. Wouldn't want to live there. Better than Paris at least.

Pyramid builders werent slaves & neither are most skyscaper builder shut up

missed opportunity to recreate the hanging gardens of babylon or something
