ARTIFICIAL
Dubai is one of the most artificial cities in the world. From indoor skiing to man-made islands - shaped like the palm trees and the globe, the city
encompasses some of the most unnatural creations on earth. For example The Burj al-Arab Hotel (image) is the tallest hotel in the world, the most luxurious hotel in the world and considered to be the only “7 Star” hotel on earth. Not to mention that it sits on its very own man-made island off the Dubai
waterfront. Amongst the man-made products of Dubai, The Burj Dubai is another building that adds to this cities synthetic nature, proving itself as the
worlds tallest building. Dubai’s urban planning seems to be endless, as a new skyscraper is popping up every year and they have proven that they will
not let anything hold them back. Dubai has plans of building the worlds first spaceport in addition to the first underwater hotel.
CONTROLLING
Dubal is one of the most controlled cities in the world. Almost everything is completely controlled and regulated by the goverenment. The goverentment
controls websites, alcohol consumption, traffic and roadways (by camera not police enforcement) and even your weekends. While all of these things
are true for Dubai residents, these rules also apply to visiting tourists. If any rules or laws are broken whether you are aware of them or not, the goverenment has the right to seize your passport and throw you in jail. The governement is just one element that makes Dubai one of the most powerful cities
in the world. Building and development is another aspect that illustrates the control and authority that Dubai offers. The city itself controls 15-25% of
the worlds cranes, and they don’t plan on stopping there. Dubai is determined to develope the largest waterfront city in the world, and at the rate they
are going, there isn’t much that can stop them.
UNPREDICTABLE
Dubai is completely unpredictable when it comes to the planning for the future. The city is in constant competition with other world cities, and with
itself as well. A a resident of Dubai, you never know what is going to be built next - you just have to plan that something bigger, better and taller will be
built. The Burj al Alam (image) is the newest development in Dubai. Even thought they have already successfully built the tallest building in the world ,
The Burj al Alam will be the tallest building on the Dubai Waterfront. Other plans for the future are, Hydropolis - the first underwater hotel, the first UAE
Spaceport - which be the first and only spaceport on the planet and Dubailand - which can be described as the Disneyworld of the east. You never
know what Dubai is planning to do next, you just have to hope its for the better, not for the competition.
