SINGAPORE’S $100 BILLION ISLAND GAMBLE
Can Artificial Land Save an Entire Country?
Singapore is running out of land — and time. Rising sea levels are threatening its very existence. But instead of retreating, the city-state is investing over $100 billion in a bold, futuristic plan: building artificial islands to expand its territory and defend its coastline.
This isn’t just urban planning — it’s a survival strategy.

8- Mega Dams – Hydroelectric Evolution – Big Bigger Biggest
This film reveals the technological leaps forward that have allowed the world’s largest hydroelectric gravity dam, the Three Gorges Dam in China, to be built. The dam, that harnesses the power of China’s mighty Yangtze River, is over 2 kilometres long, towers over 60 storeys high, and creates a reservoir 600 kilometres in length. The concrete superstructure has a generating capacity of 22,500 megawatts of power, enough to supply electricity to 60 million people. At its peak over 25,000 men and women were working round the clock to make what was once Chairman Mao’s dream a reality.
The programme explores how this immense project was made possible through a series of five engineering breakthroughs. Six landmark dams, including the Hoover Dam in America, each feature a major technological innovation that allowed engineers to create bigger dams generating ever more hydroelectric power. Using computer-generated animation, we share the incredible stories behind these projects and the inventions that have allowed them to increase in scale.
