 "verdict": "Masdar promised the world's first zero-carbon city and delivered a decent cleantech district at a tenth of its population target. That is survival by descoping, not failure. Dholera scores 3.10 against Masdar's 3.40 on my index, and its lesson is blunt: keep the anchors, cut the adjectives early. Dated 25 August 2026.",
