MEDITERRANEAN MEGASTRUCTURES

From the Marseille canal winding through Provence to the 2,000-kilometer of sewers snaking beneath the Phocean city, via the mythical “Motorway of the Sun” which carries 80 million vehicles a year… How were these megastructures conceived and built? What challenges did past engineers have to overcome? And how are today’s engineers reinventing them to meet tomorrow’s challenges?

Combining 3D imagery, expert interviews, and on-site footage inside these massive infrastructures, the series reveals the story and hidden workings of the extraordinary constructions that shape the Mediterranean region.
