🇦🇪 Abu Dhabi
Masdar City
Two 2008-era greenfield showcases that missed their scale: Masdar shrank its zero-carbon target; PlanIT Valley's $19bn build never came.
🇸🇦 NEOM
The Line
Same pattern, different decade: PlanIT Valley's from-scratch 'urban operating system' collapsed for funding, as The Line was later cut.
🇸🇳 Diamniadio
Senegal Digital City (PTN / Senegal Connect Park)
Same pattern a continent and a decade apart: a from-scratch tech city announced with billions in ambition, then stalled for years.
