Algemeen
In 1886 richtten enkele notabelen de Zuiderzeevereniging op die moest onderzoeken of drooglegging haalbaar was. Ingenieur Cornelis Lely was een prominent lid en later voorzitter van deze vereniging. Hij ontwierp in 1891 het eerste plan voor de afsluiting en inpoldering van de Zuiderzee.
In 1913, Lely was inmiddels minister van waterstaat, werd inpoldering opgenomen in het regeringsprogramma. Dit ondanks protesten vanuit de visserij. Na de watersnood van 1916 en de hongersnood van 1918 waren de geesten rijp voor het megaproject. In dat laatste jaar ging het parlement akkoord.

Not much was apparently going on on Valencia, and the presence of BART was expected to kill off what remained of it.
On May 19 - 20, 2016 LUISS Business School had the pleasure to host the 4th International Mega-Projects Workshop.
The Workshop brings together scholars and practitioners to further understanding of mega-projects: it allows established and emerging scholars to present their work, interact with other scholars studying related topics, transfer lessons learned across mega-projects and to the participating organizations, spur connections between practice and theory, and hear the latest trends in mega-projects research.

As part of the commemoration of 50 years of the massacre of students in Tlaltelolco, Mexico in 1968, there was a march in Mexico City with messages alluding to the Stay Grounded Action Weeks against Aviation Expansion and the New Mexico City International Airport (NAICM) in the Texcoco Lake.
This block of the march was hosted by Organizaciones del Oriente del Estado de México en Defensa de la Tierra, el Agua y su Cultura (CPOOEM: Original inhabitants and NGOs Eastern State of Mexico coordination in defense of land, water and culture), and Frente Amplio No Partidista en contra del Nuevo Aeropuerto y otros Megaproyectos en la Cuenca del Valle de México (Non-parties wide front against the New Airport and other megaprojects in the Mexico’s Valley).

Palm Islands are three artificial islands, Palm Jumeirah, Deira Island and Palm Jebel Ali, on the coast of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Creation of the islands started in 2001. As of November 2011, only Palm Jumeirah has been completed. This island takes the form of a palm tree, topped by a crescent.
After completion, Palm Jebel Ali will take a similar shape. Like Palm Jumeirah, each island will be host to a large number of residential, leisure and entertainment centers and will add a total of 520 kilometers of non-public beaches to the city of Dubai. wikipedia
Palm Jumeirah[edit]
Main article: Palm Jumeirah
The Palm Jumeirah seen from the International Space Station.
The Palm Jumeirah (Coordinates: 25°06′28″N 55°08′15″E) consists of a tree trunk, a crown with 16 fronds, and a surrounding crescent island that forms an 11 kilometer-long breakwater. The island itself is five kilometers by five kilometers. It adds 78 kilometers to the Dubai coastline.
Residents began moving into Palm Jumeirah properties at the end of 2006, five years after land reclamation began.
Palm Jumeirah Monorail opened in 2009; it is connected to station 9 of the Dubai Tram (Palm Jumeirah Station).
Palm Jumeirah hosts the Atlantis hotel resort and it was opened in 2010.[1]
Palm Jebel Ali[edit]
Main article: Palm Jebel Ali
Palm Jebel Ali
The Palm Jebel Ali began construction in October 2000 and it was supposed to be completed by October mid-2008 but has been on hold since. Palm Jebel Ali was going to be built much larger than Palm Jumeirah, but has not yet been completed.[2][3]
Environmental concerns[edit]
The construction of the Dubai Palm Islands has had a significant impact on the surrounding environment, resulting in changes to area wildlife, coastal erosion, alongshore sediment transport and wave patterns. Sediment stirred up by construction has suffocated and injured local marine fauna and reduced the amount of sunlight which filters down to seashore vegetation. Variations in alongshore sediment transport have resulted in changes in erosion patterns along the UAE coast, which has also been exacerbated by altered wave patterns as the waters of the Persian Gulf attempt to move around the new obstruction of the islands. [4][5]
Dubai's megaprojects have become a favourite cause of environmentalists. Greenpeace has criticized the Palm Islands for lack of sustainability, and Mongabay.com, a site dedicated to rain forest conservation, has attacked Dubai's artificial islands aggressively, stating that:
Significant changes in the maritime environment [of Dubai] are leaving a visual scar [... ] As a result of the dredging and redepositing of sand for the construction of the islands, the typically crystalline waters of the Persian Gulf at Dubai have become severely clouded with silt. Construction activity is damaging the marine habitat, burying coral reefs, oyster beds and subterranean fields of sea grass, threatening local marine species as well as other species dependent on them for food. Oyster beds have been covered in as much as two inches of sediment, while above the water, beaches are eroding with the disruption of natural currents. wikipedia

CERAWK201440727-05MAR2014-OV-FONG.JPG - Opening Up the Southern Gas Corridor: From the Caspian to Europe
With final investment decision taken in December 2013 on Azerbaijan’s Shah Deniz Stage 2 megaproject, the long-discussed Southern Corridor linking the core European gas markets with new sources of gas is now set to become a reality. Now that Shah Deniz is on track to open the door, how much more gas will follow behind? What is the potential for additional supply from Azerbaijan or new supply from Central Asia, Iraq, and perhaps Iran? How great is the long-term appetite in Europe for Southern Corridor gas? How will Turkey’s role as both a market and transit state evolve?
