Already 50 percent of world's people are living in cities, there will be sure 70 percent or more within some decades. Where shall all this mass of bodies be stapled? They don't want to stay in slums any longer, they have the right in participation of better living. Not only architects and project manager should design this new mankind aggregation places, also social workers, non comercial specialists, and the "victim" himself must have the chance, to be involved in the planning and realization process. Dubai is a laboratory, let's take it for all mankind! This megaproject seems to outrace all other planned new communities, but it’s a must!

Dubai has so much money to spend and I am very sad that will spend it in this project. I think we really need a creative revolution in master plan design. An architecture that would takes into consideration nature, society and cutting edge tech with a strong innovative design. Even my son that is 8 years old has designed a more beautiful city in sincity than this square-shaped ugly island in Dubai waterfront project. This is the worst master plan that I’ve ever seen.

Dubai is the Switzerland of the Middle East, and the Sheiks are funneling billions out of their own countries and laundering it through these giant constructions projects. Think organized crime, but on a planet-wide scale. Wondering where the money is coming from?

Is that the only reason you're doing it? I can only hope you're doing it right, because you're doing it a lot. I also hope you don't mark that important "historical moment" badly. It's a great oportunity, are you going to miss it? The Dubaian,

I can only hope you’re doing it right, because you’re doing it a lot. I also hope you don’t mark that important “historical moment” badly.

It’s a great oportunity, are you going to miss it?
