    GENERAL ARTICLES Reclaimed islands and new offshore townships in the Arabian Gulf: potential natural hazards Arun Kumar Some of the Arabian Gulf states are busy developing several large, reclaimed islands and offshore townships. These structures are undoubtedly futuristic and the ideas are quite novel. However, there are serious issues of long-term sustainability of these townships. This article reviews and dis- cusses natural hazards that have struck this region in the past and have the potential to strike again any time in the future. Potential dangers and consequences are identified. Keywords: Natural hazards, offshore townships, reclaimed islands.

Saudi Arabia used reclamation The Arabian Gulf to expand the size of Tarut Island for urban development. The city of Dubai is at the forefront of such projects, The Gulf is an epicontinental sea that covers an area of where five new giant offshore island communities are being approximately 226,000 km2.

  • Cultural and Societal Perspectives on the Mega Development of Islands in the United Arab Emirates
    ‘‘And an Island Never Cries’’: Cultural and Societal Perspectives on the Mega Development of Islands in the United Arab Emirates Pernilla Ouis 1 Why Islands? Islomania in the United Arab Emirates This chapter aims at revealing cultural and societal aspects of the megaengi- neering of artificial islands and other island development projects in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The UAE is a federation established in 1971 of seven traditional sheikhdoms or emirates, located on the Arabian coast of the Persian Gulf. The largest emirate Abu Dhabi; and also the name of the capital, but perhaps most famous is the city and emirate of Dubai for its many spectacular and extravagant megaprojects. The number and size of these new island projects can be understood by studying the elaborate chapter ‘‘Infrastructure’’ in the latest official United Arab Emirates Yearbook 2009. This chapter recounts for several projects of this kind that will be the starting point for my article and explained below in detail: In Abu Dhabi city the yearbook mentions that the islands named Sowwah, Al Reem, Saadiyat, Yas and Lulu are undergoing reclamation. In Dubai the world’s largest artificial archipelago called The World has been finalized and the three large man-made Palm Islands are under construction with one recently being completed. In the coastal areas of the smaller and poorer northern emir- ates, islands are being developed as well, following the pattern of the larger emirates. These islands are all under development, and facts regarding them can not be found in literature yet, but rather on the developing companies’ homepages.

  • Die Zehn Erstaunlichsten Bauprojekte
    Die erstaunlichsten Bauprojekte Dubais World Trade Centre Dubai Den Anfang des Baubooms machte das World Trade Centre Ende der 1970er Jahre – damals das höchste Gebäude der arabischen Welt. Es spielt im heutigen Stadtbild eine eher unauffällige Rolle, denn im Laufe der folgenden Jahrzehnte kam eine Vielzahl noch höherer, modernerer und interessanterer Gebäude hinzu. Sheikh Zayed Road, Emirates Towers An der Scheich-Zayed-Strasse wurden seit der neunziger etliche Wolkenkratzer errichtet. Weithin sichtbar sind die Emirates Towers, der höhere der beiden Türme misst 355 Meter. Burj Dubai Im Stadtteil Downtown Dubai befindet sich der Wolkenkratzer Burj Dubai. Er ist schon jetzt das höchste Bauwerk der Welt und wird nach seiner Fertigstellung Ende 2009 mit seinen 818 m Höhe den Mittelpunkt des neuen Stadtzentrums Downtown Dubai bilden. Page 1 from 4 Palm Islands Vor der Küste der Stadt werden drei künstliche Inseln für Luxusvillen, Yachthäfen, Hotelanlagen und Golfplätze aufgeschüttet: die Palmeninseln, namensgebend ist die Form einer Palme. The World Dubai, eine künstliche Inselgruppe in Form der Weltkarte ist derzeit ebenso im Bau. Südlich ergänzt werden sollte die Erdnachbildung mit einem Saum aus langgezogenen Inseln, die den Namen The Universe tragen sollen, dieses Vorhaben ist jedoch einstweilen aufgegeben. Ebenso erst in Planung befindet sich das Megaprojekt Dubai Waterfront, das 1,2 bis 1,5 Millionen Menschen Leben und Arbeiten am Wasser ermöglichen soll und größer wäre als Köln. Erste Landgewinnungsarbeiten und Küstenplanierungen sind hierfür angelaufen. Jumeirah-Inseln Ihrer Vollendung gehen die Jumeirah-Inseln entgegen, 50 landseits liegende künstliche Inseln mit jeweils 16 Villen.

    PT-13: Coastal and Ocean Engineering ENGI.8751 Undergraduate Student Forum Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, Memorial University, St. john’s, NL, Canada MARCH, 2013 Paper Code. (PT-13 - Hawco) Reclaiming the Ocean The Palm Islands Dubai, United Arab Emirates Alex Hawco Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science Memorial University, St. John’s, NL Canada [email protected] ABSTRACT As the human race continues to populate all reaches of our planet, the amount of land available for inhabitation becomes drastically decreased. This is particularly relevant in the case of premier property locations on the coastlines of tropical regions. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a small Arab country on the Persian Gulf located approximately 24 degrees north of the equator. This country is faced with the problem of limited coastline availability for residence to live upon and have taken a future orientated approach of reclaiming the land out of the sea to solve their problem. The three palm islands and other Dubai reclamation projects are developed by the company Nakheel and consist of the Palm Jumeirah, Palm Jebel Ali, Palm Deira, The World, The Universe, and the Dubai Waterfront. The reclamation projects on the Dubai coastline are in various stages of completion and will increase the available coastline length immensely. In recent years the projects have faced financial difficulties as well as engineering difficulties in dealing with rising sea levels and erosive ocean activity. This paper will focus on the history and background of the creation of the palm islands, the struggles and successes of the project, and what the future holds for other ocean reclamation projects.
