Itaipu Hydroelectric Power Plant, Brazil / Paraguay ($ 27 billion) A huge power plant on the Parana River is the global leader in the production of electricity a year. The power plant provides more than 20% of Brazil's electricity needs and about half the needs of Paraguay.

Three airport terminal is passed to a year, nearly 50 million passengers and 4,000,000 tons of cargo.

The preliminary design of the plant was approved in 1995, and in November 1998, Russia launched into orbit its first element - the Functional Cargo Block Zarya. To date, the ISS - the most expensive construction, created humanity in modern history.
