Businessweek online has made a nice showcase of the cream of the current building projects in Dubai:
A building boom in the emirate has led to a whole host of chart breakers, in categories including highest apartment, biggest mall, and one of the world’s most unique resorts
Dubai has been grabbing headlines lately — for more reasons than one. First on everyone’s minds is the current controversy over Dubai Ports World’s acquisition of Britain’s Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Co., making the Middle Eastern company the possible operator of shipping terminals at major U.S. ports.
Another reason this United Arab Emirate is gaining widespread global attention: Dubai is experiencing a construction boom, with new buildings going up at a pace that rivals China’s development — albeit on the scale of an emirate roughly the size of Yosemite National Park, and with a population of only 1.4 million.
While some of you will know my stance on the current boom in dubai, I must nevertheless say that these projects are impressive indeed!
