A thelen, why on earth would Dubai ever bring an end to the oil addiction. Thats where their money comes from. The reason they are building spending billions, is becuase within 10 years Dubai will be out of oil. The tourism and business oriented city will be the fall back of their economy. This may seem like a unfathomable amount of money spent, but not even close to the amount of money they will make on this genius investment.

sooo…whats the point behind all of this? i can see the tourism and ultimately, business side to this but to be honest all i can think of is the tower of bable. why don’t they spend 20 billion dollars on somthing worth while like bringing an end to the addiction to oil. or feeding hungry poeple, or cancer reseach. maybe somthing that will really matter to mankind. don’t get me wrong i think it’s cool that we as human’s can conceivably build somthing of this magnitude, and are apparently doing so, but i ask why when there are obviously bigger fish to fry? is it greed? boredom? muscle flexing?

Where does the Freedom Tower fit into all of this? The buildings coming out of Dubai are amazing. It makes Vegas look like a one-horse town…

You should read this week’s edition of MEED magazine. There is a story there that says The Burj thats built by Nakheel (Palm.ae) will be over 1km high. Making Burj Dubai the second tallest.
