Why Europe is Building a $34BN Transport Mega-Hub

Salt Lake City holds the largest Mormon Temple in the world, a 68-metre tall, 170 room behemoth that sits on a whopping 11.4 acre site. This building is huge.
Now it's being dug up. Well, its foundations are. All in a bid to stop it from falling over. This is the $2BN operation to save the world’s largest Mormon church… and the secret urban history that allowed it to exist in the first place.
The plans got the green light from the UK Government – but the building's heavily redacted basement schematics have left many questioning what the site might really be used for.
Designed by Cox Architecture and Hassell Studio, the circa $2.3BN venue at Victoria Park will host the opening and closing ceremonies of the Games.
Bishoftu International is set to serve 60 million passengers a year, with capacity rising to 110 million passengers once all phases are built.
