Are you serious?
The authorities of Southern Sudan, where over 90% of the population lives on under $1 a day, have unveiled the stupidest city planning idea ever a plan to rebuild the region’s cities in the shapes of fruit and animals. Of course, the plan has a very heavy cost attached: US$10bn. Not that they had anything else to spend that kind of money on.
I thought the government of my country was messed up and had terrible ideas on how to spend money, but this gives me hope, seeing how it could be worse.
The regional capital, Juba, will be relocated and designed in the shape of a rhinoceros. Wau, the capital of Western Bahr el-Ghazal state, is to be a somewhat unwieldy giraffe. In Juba, the office of the regional president is situated where the rhinoceros’s eye should be. In Wau, the sewage treatment plant is appropriately placed under the giraffe’s tail.
If this concept makes it beyond the drawing board, I bet they’ll start designing lion-looking cars and tree-like buildings too.
