The future of Dubai

[clips]

Take a look at what Dubai is planning on doing with it\'s oil profits....alot of the designs are pretty radical,...but the buildings they plan to build are ultra sleek....and will put some of the american city skyline and others to shame...i was trying find to a really slick picture of a hotel that these guys built out in the ocean that currently exists in Dubai,...i mean the stuff they want to bulid,..looks like something out of a high tech sci-fi movie.....look thru all 4 pages to see what they plan to build,...one building they plan to make even rotates...:eek:...really ambituous and impressive stuff...

Fockers got too much money, it\'s almost like they gave a class of kindergarteners AutoCad4Kids and told them to go apeshit.

i was trying find to a really slick picture of a hotel that these guys built out in the ocean that currently exists in Dubai

Saw a show on discovery about that. It was crazy.

I ve been in Dubai many times and I ve done some research on their economy.

Dubai\'s economy doesnt rely on oil. It diversified itself away from oil. Tourism is the primary driver of Dubai\'s economy and soon probably trade as well.

True story, but without oil it would have never happened.

Into some extend yes. It was their initial booster. Lets not forget that Dubai was just a desert some decades ago


But they have diversified away from oil for years. It is not something recent. Oil is more like a security. One which they know they will have to abandon. Dubai invests on alternative energy sources as well. They think long term, never myopic.

They have projects that will end in decades from now. They are unbelievable
