United Arab Emirates seems to have more than its share of mega-projects! In terms of being forward-thinking, they're sure breaking the mold of Middle-East countries.

A lot of these projects require stupendous amounts of steel. I was actually kinda surprised to hear on the shows that the world doesn't produce more steel than it does.

I think my favorite project of the bunch is Tokyo's Pyramid City. It's a huge structure with about 80 separate skyscrapers inside!

But cool stuff, all of it.
