A world of islands

Megastructures, showing March 27th on National Geographic at 9:00pm

Creating a man-made wonder visible from space is no easy task. For a team of developers in Dubai, building an island chain in the shape of the world that is four kilometres off the coast becomes an architectural challenge.

The team will use more than 320 million cubic metres of sand to create 300 islands, intricately shaped to resemble the world.
