Audacious building projects have been moulding history for millennia. These awe-inspiring undertakings are testament to the dizzying scale of human ambition and imagination, every megastructure a marker in the long story of human progress.

Today’s world is no different. In Mega Builds, YouTube sensation Fred Mills charts the story of how ten colossal megaprojects are reshaping our modern world. Nations and corporations are competing in an extraordinary bid to reset the boundaries of what might be possible for humanity.

This is science fiction made real. And Fred gives us a front row seat to a fascinating, fact-packed guided tour around the world, shining a spotlight on the incredible feats of engineering that serve as new chapters in the story of what’s to come.
