Construction channel the B1M (watch, runtime: 05:07) takes a deep look through the highlight reel of plans for the new administrative capital, complete with glossy images. Set to extend over 700 sqkm, the city should be home to 6.5 mn inhabitants when it is fully complete in 2050 and will include several fully serviced neighborhoods as well as hundreds of religious buildings, hospitals, hotels, and a dedicated government quarter. And in case that wasn’t enough, a huge theme park (four times the size of Disneyland California), a central park that is twice the size of New York’s, and an 85 storey tower set to become Africa’s tallest building are also part of the capital’s master plan.
