The venue The Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre has become the most successful venue in the Middle East. With its state of the art facilities, its easy access to and from the airport, shops, restaurants and hotels, it is the ideal setting for the DOMOTEX middle east 2006 carpets and floor coverings exhibition. Dubai - Centre of industrial development The development of the first Free Zone 20 years ago was an important step in creating the future of Dubai. Today, the Jebel Ali Free Zone is the biggest Free Zone in the Middle East with more than 8,000 registered companies. Newer Free Zones such as Media City, Internet City and Knowledge Village are rapidly growing due to the increase in demand from the outside world. Soon, Dubai will develop Free Zones for publishing, printing, manufacturing and Bio-technology to meet the needs of its consumers as well as to maintain its key position amongst rest of the world. The city has a healthy mixture of small and middle-sized businesses as well as wholesale and retail on many different levels. Dubai actually hosts more than one million people from over 130 different countries, with an expatriate rate of more than 70 percent. What has assisted in the region's growth is a newly formed law, enabling expatriates to purchase their own property. This has increased the number of investors and expatriates establishing their private homes here in the UAE, from all over the world. Booking details Space only – USD $315 per square metre.

    However the Ugly Face of the So Called "Dubai Model" Which Was Based Upon Debt and Speculation, Was Hiding Somewhere in the Breakneck Boom

    What is Dubai Crisis? y The Dubai Debt Crisis 2009 has been called by economists a consequence of real estate bubble burst when on November 26, 2009 vaDubai proposed to delay repayment of its debt which includes delay in the payment of $ 59 Billion debt on Dubai World, the investment vehicle for the emirates for 6 months. Dubai's Economy: y Dubai has one of the most unique and unusual economies in the world. Dubai has numerous free zones including Jebel Ali free zone, Dubai Maritime City, Dubai Internet City, and Dubai Media City. y Contrary to the general assumption that Dubai's economy is totally driven by oil and gas,It is a fact that oil sector only comprises less than 6% of the economy of Dubai. y In fact, Dubai's portion of natural gas revenues in the United Arab Emirates is only about 2%. Dubai's oil production is estimated to be about 240,000 barrels per day. y It is true that Dubai's economy was built on the back of Oil Money but Dubai's oil reserves have diminished significantly and are expected to be exhausted in 20 years. y The other largest contributing sectors of Dubai economy are Real estate and construction (22.6%), trade (16%), (15%) and financial services (11%) (all are 2007 figures). Diversifying to Real Estate: y In 2000, Dubai Financial Market (DFM) was established. It was established as a secondary market for trading securities and bonds, both local and foreign. During that time the Government decided to diversify Dubai's economy from a trade-based, but oil-reliant, economy to one that is service and tourism-oriented has made real estate more valuable.

    Implementing Sustainable Construction Practices in Dubai – a Policy Instrument Assessment

    Master Thesis in Built Environment (15 credits) Implementing Sustainable Construction Practices in Dubai – a policy instrument assessment Marco Maguina Academic Supervisor: Catarina Thormark Spring Semester 2011 Master Thesis in Built Environment Implementing Sustainable Construction Practices in Dubai – a policy instrument assessment Author: Marco Maguina Faculty: Culture and Society School: Malmö University Master Thesis: 15 credits Academic Supervisor: Catarina Thormark Examiner: Johnny Kronvall Maguina, Marco 2 Master Thesis in Built Environment SUMMARY Recognized as one of the main obstacles to sustainable development, climate change is caused and accelerated by the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated from all energy end-user sectors. The building sector alone consumes around 40% of all produced energy worldwide. Reducing this sector’s energy consumption has therefore come into focus as one of the key issues to address in order to meet the climate change challenge. Implementing sustainable construction practices, such as LEED, can significantly reduce the building’s energy and water consumption. Prescribing these practices may however encounter several barriers that can produce other than intended results. Since the beginning of 2008 Dubai mandates a LEED certification for the better part of all new constructions developed within the emirate, nevertheless the success of this regulation is debatable. This thesis identifies the barriers the introduction of the sustainable construction practices in Dubai faced and analyses the reasons why the regulatory and voluntary policy instruments were not effective in dealing with these barriers. Understanding these barriers as well as the merits and weaknesses of the policy instruments will help future attempts to introduce sustainable construction practices. To put the research into context a literature review of relevant printed and internet sources has been performed.

    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, segnata dal contrasto tra la cultura araba e le caratteristiche contraddizioni delle metropoli moderne, è ricca di fascino per la sua posizione tra deserto e mare, e ambita meta del turismo internazionale per lo shopping, il lusso e l’albergo più elegante del mondo. Anche se alcuni studiosi sostengono che non ha e non potrà mai avere una propria identità, attualmente Dubai, capitale dell’omonimo emirato, viene considerata una città medio-orientale con una cultura, una religione, una lingua una “mentalità” decisamente diverse da quelle occidentali. negli ultimi anni Dubai è divenuta famosa nel mondo sia per lo sviluppo di progetti architettonici avveniristici, inconcepibili altrove, sia per la riuscita del processo di diversificazione economica, tanto che la tangibile ricchezza di Dubai non proviene più dal petrolio, ma da una fiorente economia che poggia su quattro settori: lo sviluppo del commercio tradizionale, il ruolo di “rappresentante commerciale”, lo sviluppo turistico e gli ingenti investimenti nella tecnologia digitale.

Though some scientists maintain that it has no identity and that never will have one, for the moment being Dubai, capital of the homonymous emirate, is being looked upon as a Middle East city with culture, religion, language and mentality decidedly unlike the occidental ones.

    Island Studies Journal, Vol. 10, No. 2, 2015, pp. 181-196 Futures, fakes and discourses of the gigantic and miniature in ‘The World’ islands, Dubai Pamila Gupta University of the Witwatersrand Johannesburg, South Africa [email protected] ABSTRACT: This article takes the “island” as a key trope in tourism studies, exploring how ideas of culture and nature, as well as those of paradise (lost) are central to its interpretation for tourists and tourist industries alike. Increasingly, however, island tourism is blurring the line between geographies of land and water, continent and archipelago, and private and public property. The case of ‘The World’ islands mega project off the coast of Dubai (UAE) is used to chart the changing face and future of island tourism, exploring how spectacle, branding and discourses of the gigantic, miniature, and fake, alongside technological mediations on a large- scale, reflect the postmodern neoliberal world of tourism and the liquid times in which we live. Artificial island complexes such as this one function as cosmopolitan ‘non-places’ at the same time that they reflect a resurgence in (British) nascent nationalism and colonial nostalgia, all the whilst operating in a sea of ‘junkspace’. The shifting cartography of ‘the island’ is thus mapped out to suggest new forms of place-making and tourism’s evolving relationship to these floating islandscapes. Keywords : archipelago; culture; Dubai; island tourism; nature; ‘World Islands’ © 2015 – Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada Introduction A journey. A saga. A legend. The World is today’s great development epic.

    INFRASTRUCTURE The new era of economic transition is characterised by public-private partnerships that are playing key roles in infrastructure development. 165 INFRASTRUCTURE The booming UAE economy, as outlined in the previous chapter, is fuelling infrastructure development on an unprecedented scale. This has been depicted as a ‘new era of economic transition’, characterised by a public-private partnership that is gradually taking over the role traditionally held by government in infrastructure development. Housing, tourist, industrial and commercial facilities, education and healthcare amenities, transportation, utilities, communications, ports and airports are all undergoing massive redevelopment, radically altering the urban environment in the UAE. Reform of property laws has also added impetus to urban development.
