For example the boats there are guest only use. It doesn't reprezent a genuine public space. It's a Disneyland. This at least wants to be a public space. madinat jumeirah (to Antonio Conroy) is privately owned and in use just for tourists and buisnessmen hosted there.

That's why wherever you find them they are succesfull. It's a great gamble they're playng by planting it complete from the start. I'm quite curious if it will work.

It seems not so different from al madinat jumeirah...an already existing district in Dubai. The one adjacent to Burj al Arab. Now doing lower density settlements is so different from the "bigness" around the city that it could appear fashionable but I think, in fact, there's nothing interesting, innnovative or just minded, about those.
