New Dubai City

Although I find their goals quite lofty, the area of Dubai has unmistakenly taken architecture to a whole new level. Taken from this blog, here is more information about Dubai:


"Duabi or Dubai City is located on the northern tip of the united arab emeritus on the persian gulf. it has been ruled by the al maktoum dynasty since 1833 and has existed in its modern state since 1971. the current ruler is mohammed bin rashid al maktoum, who is also the prime minister and vice president of the united arab emirates. The rather small city has a population of 1.6 million people and a 37 billion USD economy based largely on trade, manufacturing and financial services. Contrary to popular belief petrol and natural gas only make up a small percentage of revenues.

The city has gained world-wide attention in the past few years because of its booming economy and ambitious architectural projects. with a focus on business and tourism, the city is ramping up construction on an unprecedented level. in fact, dubai is said to be home to 15% to 25% of the world's 125,000 construction cranes."
