Engaging article on the Ali Al-Wardi new city project in Iraq. Despite South Korea's ambitions in Iraq for constructing megaprojects there, the largest residential city is handled by an Egyptian company. It is designed to be sustainable and ecologically friendly.

Very interesting article on Appolonia City in Ghana by Ehwi and Morrison. In Ghana, 80% of all lands are in customary ownership (chiefs and council of elders), which makes arrangements with interests of local communities rather than a state a lot more complex.
