I recently spoke to a few people who have worked on these large scale
municipal projects. We think we have a hard time managing active software
projects. These projects have change orders alone worth well into the 10s of
millions. There are so many moving parts, literally, that it is a miracle they
get completed at all.

I don't find the choice of photos particularly inspiring, from an artistic
sense, but it is nice to have a peak into that world.

These projects are amazing. Seeing the work that goes into just a single
subway line makes it absolutely mind blowing to me that China has managed to
build entire metropolises, complete with subway systems, in well under a
decade. These photos are absolutely fantastic, and I'm happy to have had the
opportunity to see some of what goes into this kind of work.
