Let's zoom in
Why not look closer?
Why indeed not. The Palm Jumeirah http://realestate.theemiratesnetwork...m_jumeirah.jpg This one is even better... The World Islands http://guide.theemiratesnetwork.com/...orld_dubai.jpg I like the insane ruler of Dubai. I like the way he is insane. |
Colour Me impressed

Dredging Operations

Wow! All that undersea dredging must be catastrophic to the natural environment.
|
Every time I see those islands I cant help but wonder what will happen if we get any substantial sea level rise from global warming.
|
i can't see those islands lasting very long without intensive and costly efforts to maintain them.

Although, just look at Dubai. All the projects are cool and all, but dosnt the city get all its money from Oil? Obviously Oil will run out soon, would the city just become completly abandoned? |

Suburban sprawl caused the inner city meltdowns that are painstakingly being reversed one block at a time. Certainly nothing to brag about.

Those islands are 4m above sea level, more than mainland Dubai so the main part of the city will actually be fucked before they are.
