Summary
Big dreams. Bigger budgets. And still, so little to show for it. Set inside the offices of the "Nation Building Authority", a (fictional) organisation responsible for overseeing major government initiatives, Utopia explores that moment when bureaucracy and big dreams collide. Follow the working lives of a beleaguered team in charge of guiding big construction schemes from announcement to unveiling. Constant shifts in priorities are the order of the day as the staff are forced to oversee projects that the feasibility study said were not actually feasible. Everything from light-rail to high density urban developments, toll-roads to high-tech traffic management systems. In short, Utopia examines the making of a very well-designed white elephant
