Also if you have 120 flats it is already paying for itself plus villas plus centa comercial office buildings. And a lot of villas have been sold to Russians where they had to pay a deposit of at least 40% and now after sanctions they cannot complete the deal and their flats are being re-sold. Also for sure the City will make money from the investment.

I think there's enough room in the Mediterranean sea to accommodate the expansion of tiny Monaco.

It's important to remember that many, but not all property owners in Monaco don't live there year round. Monaco is a wonderful city that allows Europeans to leave their country, obtain citizenship (with investment) and live nearly tax free. So to many, an obstructed view of the sea at your part time residence isn't as much of a factor when you're keeping all of the money you make.

Well put together documentary. Thank you !

Good watch, very direct and straight to the point, looking forward to watching more of your content.

Couldn't envisage such a colossal project will be slated for inauguration in the coming years.

The size comparison at 1min01 is very misleading, you overlapped Monaco (which is around 3km in length) onto an area of Paris between l'Ile de la cité and Place du Chatelet which is around 200 meters. So Monaco on that scale would need to be 15 times larger than what is represented here. It would stretch across almost 1/3 of the size of Paris (which, granted, is still pretty small for a state, but nowhere near the 200 m you showed on the map which literally take 2 minutes to walk across the bridge over the Seine river)

Amazing ❤️

The Rock!! I've never heard that before.

They needed to extend the F1 circuit too so that some overtaking can be made ….

What a grotesque way of showing the true meaning of the phrase "Rules for thee, not for me." While they claim that our cars and lifestyle are a threat to our planet, the more affluent class flies in almost empty private jets and do projects like this that destroy the ecosystem. But then they say that "global warming" is our fault. Please!
