GCC Building CONSTRUCTION and Interiors OVERVIEW June 2013 Introduction With GCC real estate markets making steady recovery from the after effects of the global economic slowdown and the Arab Spring in 2012 and into 2013, the first quarter witnessed a flurry of activity driven by vast budgetary allocations and government spending on economic development across sectors such as healthcare, education, social housing and infrastructure, that in turn revived private activity in the real estate sectors of the economies across the GCC. Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE have led the revival with the governments investing vast sums and announcing unparalleled budgetary outlays for overall development of the economy and its infrastructure as a part of their visions to diversify from excessive dependence on hydrocarbons to fuel their development. Tourism and hospitality sectors have sharply increased with the GCC being perceived as a safe haven for travel and investment amid the global economic slowdown and the regional upheaval in the other pockets of the Middle East. Though countries such as Kuwait and Bahrain, lag behind in the overall recovery process due to greater political upheaval in these countries and lack of consensus in investment decisions in Kuwait, though gradually order is being restored and Bahrain has witnessed a spurt in projects and investments in the real estate sector in 2013 and Kuwait a resumption of its developmental plans which had been put on hold amid the

  • Dubai 2020: Dreamscapes, Mega Malls and Spaces of Post-Modernity
    Dubai 2020: Dreamscapes, Mega Malls and Spaces of Post-Modernity Dubai’s hosting of the 2020 Expo further authenticates its status as an example of an emerging Arab city that displays modernity through sequences of fragmented urban- scapes, and introvert spaces. The 2020 Expo is expected to reinforce the image of Dubai as a city of hybrid architectures and new forms of urbanism, marked by technologically advanced infrastructural systems. This paper revisits Dubai’s spaces of the spectacle such as the Burj Khalifa and themed mega malls, to highlight the power of these spaces of repre- sentation in shaping Dubai’s image and identity.

Dubai’s Abu Dhabi University interest to make headlines of the international media fostered major investment in an endless vocabulary of forms and fragments to create architectural specta- cles. Contemporary Dubai is experienced through symbolic imprints of multiple policies framed within an urban context to project an image of a city offers luxu- rious dreamscapes, assembled in discontinued urban centers.

  • The Dubai Logistics Cluster
    THE DUBAI LOGISTICS CLUSTER Alanood Bin Kalli, Camila Fernandez Nova, Hanieh Mohammadi, Yasmin Sanie-Hay, Yaarub Al Yaarubi MICROECONOMICS OF COMPETITENESS COUNTRY OVERVIEW The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a federation of seven emirates, each governed by its own monarch. The seven Emirates - Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm al-Quwain - jointly form the Federal Supreme Council, which chooses a president every five years. Since independence from Britain in 1971, the ruler of Abu Dhabi has been elected as the president, while the ruler of Dubai has been elected as the Vice President and Prime Minister. Abu Dhabi serves as the capital and each emirate enjoys a high degree of autonomy. The country is strategically located in the Middle East, bordering the Persian Gulf, the Arabian Sea, Oman and Saudi Arabia. It occupies a total area of 83,600 km2 with around 1,318 km of coastline1. The population is estimated to be 9.3 million in 2015 with only 13% nationals2. UAE Economic Performance The UAE is an oil rich country, with most of its oil and gas production coming from Abu Dhabi. The country was ranked eighth worldwide in terms of oil and gas production in 2012 and seventh in terms of reserves3. Since the UAE’s establishment, oil revenues have been used strategically to develop basic infrastructure and provide UAE citizens with government services including subsidized utilities, free education, and medical services. As a result of oil price fluctuation, the country has understood the importance of diversifying away from this resource and started to develop its petrochemical sector.

  • Awalnya Permukiman Nelayan, Dubai Bertransformasi Menjadi Salah Satu Metropolitan Paling Mentereng Di Timur Tengah
    Aneh Tapi nyata Awalnya permukiman nelayan, Dubai bertransformasi menjadi salah satu metropolitan paling mentereng di Timur Tengah. Tahun ini, sebagai tuan rumah World Expo, ia akan menikmati momen sebagai pusat dunia. Seperti apa sebenarnya kehidupan riil di kota ini? TEKS & FOTO OLEH NICK HANNES Ujung Jalan Ujung seutas jalan yang membelah kawasan gurun Al Qudra di sisi selatan pusat kota Dubai, Uni Emirat Arab. 74 m elongok lewat jendela kamar, saya menangkap sosok kota yang berdenyut cepat. Porter menarik gerobak, orang India menga- yuh sepeda, orang Afrika bergerak dengan ju- bah sarat warna, orang Rusia cuek seliweran memperlihatkan kakinya, orang Islam salat di trotoar, pedagang jalanan merapal mantra: “Arloji, mister? iPhone? Harga bagus!” Malam harinya, saya kembali mengham- piri jendela dan menyaksikan pemandangan yang lebih profan: para pekerja seks komersial berkeliaran. Di jalan-jalan sekitar hotel, kartu nama panti pijat diselipkan di gagang-gagang pintu mobil yang terparkir, dengan menam- pilkan nomor telepon dan foto wanita. Saya sedang berada di Deira, jantung ka- wasan tua Dubai, sebuah tempat yang me- nyimpan kisah masa lalu kota ini sebagai permukiman nelayan dan petani mutiara. Hotel saya berada persis di bawah jalur pener- bangan pesawat, dekat sebuah minaret. Kamar- nya agak pengap, tapi dibandingkan kamar hotel lainnya, tarifnya cukup murah. Menaiki Metro di Baniyas Square, saya honan izin foto kepada perusahaan pengem- mal. Salah satu mal bahkan mematok “bea menampilkan wajah-wajah bahagia dengan meluncur ke kolong sungai, lalu mendarat bang, serta pengelola taman hiburan, mal, lokasi” €2.500 untuk satu sesi foto.
