The United Arab Emirates' Pre-Planned Masdar City is Supposed to be a Shining Beacon of Technology between its Clean Energy and Automated Cars. However, it has Hit a Few Roadblocks, including the Financial Crisis from the Last Decade -- and the Result is Less of a Utopia and More of a Ghost Town. If you Need Proof, Quartier Libre has Posted an Eerie Video Tour (below) of Masdar as it Stood this Summer. With just a Few Thousand Residents, Many of the Buildings and High-Tech Facilities Sit Unused; it's as if Everyone Suddenly Went on Vacation. The City Should be More Welcoming Once it's Completed Sometime after 2020 but for Now, it's Not Exactly a Tourist's Dream. Not Unless you Really Enjoy Haunted Houses, that is.
