Personally, I agree with most of the projects where identified. Some, in my opinion, are too recent to judge for their long term influence.
What do you think?

Hi Vincent, in my opinion www definitely deserved to be top of the list, loads of reasons one of it about reminiscing those hotmail and yahoo days!
Rest of list are mixed opinion or am not familiar with.
Thanks, Suzi,

That is the point if you, me and others are not familiar with the project, I find it difficult to say most influential!

After knowing and analysing the list, I consider it has politically correct projects in excess. Many big and important projects (and more influential, in my opinion) were not included. Incomprehensive that "single's day" is in the top ten projects. "Paris Fashion Week" is also rather questionable whether it should be in the list. As a brazilian, I regard the BRT project project in Curitiba as a much interesting initiative, but far from representing the most important or influential project already done in this country. Itaipu dam and the associated hydroelectric plant , as an example, between Brazil and Paraguay, was simply the biggest plant of this kind in the world at the time . The dam measures 7,919 meters long and 196 meters high, equivalent to a 65-floor building. The iron and steel used in it could de used to construct 380 towers like the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Besides that, Itaipu launched the biggest reforestation program already developed by a hydroelectric development, planting over 20 million native tree seedlings in the reservoir’s protection area.
Paulo, I see you found the list.

The title is the "50 most influential projects" not the 50 most challenging or the best success. Like the Sydney Opera was a failure in terms of management but I agree it stands as an icon.

In my view most of the list makes sense. Some need explaining.
