How Qatar Turned A Desert To A Megacity To Host The World Cup
Ғылым және технология
With the commencement of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, fans from around the globe are flocking to Qatar, But little do the masses know that the Lusail City we see today, was a mere desert at the time Qatar was voted in as the host county for the tournament back in 2010. Lusail is the culmination of a $45 billion development effort and it is furnished with an array of amenities and features including waterfront Marinas, Island Resorts, Golf communities, and luxury shopping and entertainment. Stretching over 38sq km it is the second largest city in Qatar and the country’s first sustainable smart city.

This is clicbait. Qatar city is NOT a megacity, and in the video are other many mistakes.

The kafala system has been replaced by a new minimum wage system, which ditches the old ways of treating migrant workers
A mega city is a city with a population over 10 million people. The population of Qatar is roughly 3 mil. It isn't a megacity

@@user-nm6od9mf5t I don't think so. They have got the largest natural gas reserves in the world. With multiple contracts in hand with Europe and asian countries, and promising outlook of natural gas prices in near future, qatar defaulting looks highly unlikely atleast for now. Just recently moody outlook has rated it "AAA", meaning the economy is heading in a stable and positive direction.

Why not? I'm from Singapore and we started off as a rural backwater a small fishing village after Malaysia separated with Singapore. We don't have natural resources and in the early 1980s Malaysia currency is higher than Singapore. Thank goodness we have a great leader that lead Singapore to what it is today. Qatar have abundance of oil and gas and they have more money to spend on development. In no time they will be on par with Dubai. Even Qatar airways is voted a the best airline and Singapore airline is rated second.

@@peerlesscultivator6873 you are a hilarious ignoramus. America was built by free labour. Yes activities related to slavery were _part-of_ what “financed [western] Europe”. That was how many hundreds of years ago? And it’s condemned now. So you’re admitting that Qatar today, despite all of the modern machinery available and the proven superiority of free and paid labour, is so backward that it has to resort to what Europe realised was a mistake and bad thing more than two centuries ago.
