They Spent $100 Billion Building This City | Then Nobody Moved In

Описание: They spent $100 billion building a luxury city on four man-made islands — and almost nobody moved in. Forest City, Malaysia was supposed to be a futuristic paradise near Singapore. Today, it’s one of the world’s most expensive ghost cities.

Forest City was marketed as the “Dubai of Southeast Asia”: vertical forests, private beaches, luxury apartments, and space for 700,000 residents. Backed by a Chinese property giant and built at record speed, it looked unstoppable.

But political backlash, visa restrictions, investor speculation, and a massive debt crisis turned this mega-project into a cautionary tale. Most apartments sit empty. Entire skyscrapers are dark. And tropical jungle vines are now reclaiming buildings that were supposed to represent the future of city living.

In this video, we break down:
– How Forest City was built so fast
– Why almost nobody lives there
– The political decisions that killed demand
– How debt destroyed the developer
– What happens when nature takes over abandoned cities

Forest City isn’t just a failed development — it’s a warning about mega-projects, ghost cities, and what happens when ambition outruns reality.
