How astonishing is human intelligence and creativity?

We can build skyscrapers that soar into the clouds, or build bridges that span the sea. We can transform nature and create miracles.

However, not all projects can be successful, and some projects have become a failed dream due to design defects, insufficient funding, environmental changes, and other reasons, even causing huge losses and harm.

These projects are called erroneous projects, they are the opposite of human wisdom and the lessons of human history.

Poyang Hunan Embankment Restoration Project

Poyang Lake is the largest freshwater lake in China and the world's largest shallow lake. It is located in the northern part of Jiangxi Province and is an important source of water for the Yangtze River.

The water level of Poyang Lake varies with seasons and rainfall. Every summer, Poyang Lake experiences a flood period, with the water level rising by about 10 meters, forming a huge lake with an area of 4000 square kilometers.

Every winter, Poyang Lake enters a dry season, with the water level dropping by about 10 meters, forming a small lake with an area of only 1000 square kilometers.

This change in water level has caused frequent flooding or drought of the land around Poyang Lake, which has had a significant impact on local agriculture and ecology.

This project cost nearly 3 billion yuan and was one of the largest water conservancy projects in China at that time. However, this project did not achieve the expected effect and instead caused even greater problems.

Firstly, this project disrupted the natural hydrological cycle of Poyang Lake, resulting in a decrease in water quality, a decrease in aquatic organisms, a reduction in wetland area, and severe damage to the ecosystem.

Secondly, this project did not take into account the impact of climate change, resulting in more drastic changes in lake water levels, insufficient flood control capacity of embankments, unstable irrigation of farmland, and an impact on farmers' income. Finally, this project did not take into account social and economic development, resulting in unreasonable utilization of lake resources, underutilization of tourism and fishery potential, and intensified conflicts of interest between local residents and the government.

Therefore, this project is considered a wrong one. It not only failed to solve the problem of Poyang Lake, but also exacerbated the crisis of Poyang Lake, bringing huge negative impacts to the local environment and society.

In order to save Poyang Lake, the government began the construction of the Poyang Lake Ecological Economic Zone at the beginning of this century, with the aim of restoring the natural hydrological cycle of Poyang Lake, protecting the ecosystem of Poyang Lake, developing the green economy of Poyang Lake, and achieving sustainable development of Poyang Lake.

This project has achieved some results, but more time and effort are needed to bring Poyang Lake back to its former glory.

The design inspiration for this project comes from the Palace of Versailles in France. Each castle has three floors, five bedrooms, a private swimming pool, a garden, a terrace, a fireplace, and an underground garage, making it a luxurious dream home.

The target customers of this project are wealthy people from the Middle East who are very interested in this European style castle style and have the ability to pay high prices.

However, this project did not meet its expectations and instead became a nightmare of failure.

This project started construction in 2014 and was originally planned to be completed in 2019. However, so far, only half of the castles have been completed, and most have not been sold out. Only a few castles have been rented out or occupied by local residents.

Although the exterior of these castles is magnificent, the interior is empty, without furniture, electricity, water sources, and a sense of life.

Changsha Sky City

Changsha Sky City83810

The developer of this project is China's Boda Group, which adopts a rapid construction method of using prefabricated steel structures and concrete modules, which are then assembled and fixed on site, greatly reducing construction time and costs.

The goal of this project is to build a super high-rise building that can accommodate 30000 people in just three months, including multiple functions such as residential, office, commercial, hotel, school, hospital, etc. It is a complex that integrates various aspects of human life.

However, this project was not completed and instead became an unresolved mystery. The main reason for this project is that it has been questioned and opposed by the government and society, resulting in the suspension and stagnation of the project.

Firstly, this project has not received formal approval from the government and has not gone through relevant planning, approval, supervision and other procedures, which violates laws and regulations.

Secondly, this project did not take into account the safety and quality of the building, and used an unproven construction method without sufficient testing and inspection, which poses many hidden dangers and risks.

Finally, this project did not take into account the aesthetics and coordination of the building, using a monotonous and rough exterior design that did not integrate into the surrounding environment and culture, causing public dissatisfaction and protest.

Therefore, this project is considered a wrong project, as it not only failed to achieve the developer's vision, but also caused a lot of controversy and trouble, causing troubles and obstacles to the urban construction of Changsha.

In order to solve the problem of this project, the government and the developer have conducted multiple negotiations and communication, but no consensus has been reached. The future of this project is still unclear, and the fate of this building is still uncertain.

The Palm Islands

The Palm Islands 16560

The developer of this project is Dubai's Nakur Group, which adopts an innovative method of reclamation and island building, using a large amount of sand and stones, which are then stacked and fixed on the seabed to form a stable island.

The goal of this project is to create a world-class tourism and entertainment destination, including luxurious hotels, villas, apartments, shopping malls, parks, water parks, and other facilities, making it a paradise full of luxury and charm.

However, this project is not perfect, and instead there are some problems and challenges. The main reason for this project is that it has been influenced by both natural and human factors, resulting in the deformation and settlement of the island, damage and vacancy of facilities, market shrinkage and competition.

Firstly, this project did not fully consider the dynamics and ecology of the ocean, resulting in changes in the island's water flow and waves, loss and sedimentation of sand and stones, changes in the island's shape and height, and a decrease in the island's stability and sustainability.

Secondly, the project was not completed and delivered in a timely manner, resulting in the aging and damage of the facilities, difficulties in the use and maintenance of the facilities, difficulties in the sales and leasing of the facilities, and a decrease in the revenue and return of the facilities.

Finally, this project did not adapt to market changes and demands, resulting in an oversupply of tourism and entertainment, a decrease in the quality and attractiveness of tourism and entertainment, an increase in competition and pressure, and a lack of development and innovation in tourism and entertainment.

Therefore, this project is considered a wrong project as it not only failed to meet the developer's expectations, but also caused some problems and difficulties, bringing challenges and crises to Dubai's tourism and entertainment industry.

In order to improve the condition of this project, the developer and government have taken some measures and strategies, such as strengthening the protection and restoration of the island, improving the quality and service of the facilities, lowering the price and threshold of the facilities, increasing the diversity and creativity of the facilities, attracting more customers and partners, and enhancing the island's reputation and influence.

Although there are still some shortcomings in this project, there are also some highlights, and it is still a miracle worth seeing.

Conclusion:

Engineering is an important component of human civilization, which can bring convenience and happiness to humanity, as well as disaster and sorrow to humanity.

We need to treat engineering correctly, not only appreciate the beauty of engineering, but also be vigilant about the dangers of engineering, not only utilize the advantages of engineering, but also overcome the disadvantages of engineering, not only create miracles of engineering, but also avoid engineering errors, so that engineering can better serve humanity and society.
