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. Man rechnet damit, dass sich durch diese gewaltigen Landaufschüttungen die nur ca. 80 Kilometer lange natürliche Küste des Emirats bis auf das zehnfache ausweiten wird, um so die beliebten Küstengrundstücke in großer Zahl vorhalten zu können. Durch Ansiedlung und Düngung/Fütterung von Meeresflora und -fauna möchte man die zu erwartenden ökologischen Schäden infolge der Landaufspülungen ein wenig kompensieren. Burj al Arab, Atlantis Dubai Hotelprojekte haben Dubai bekannt gemacht, vor allem das Wahrzeichen der Stadt, der 321 Meter hohe Burj al Arab in Form eines Segels. Auf der ersten der Palmeninseln, der "Palm Jumeirah" wurde zudem Atlantis Dubai errichtet, ein riesiges Luxushotel mit 1539 Zimmern und angeschlossenem Aquapark. Page 2 from 4 Dubai Bawadi, Asia-Asia Ein weiteres geplantes Grossprojekt trägt den Namen Bawadi, „Wüsten“ und soll an die Tourismusmetropole Las Vegas erinnern. Auf einer Länge von ca. 10 Kilometern sollen in Bawadi 51 neue Hotels entstehen – unter ihnen auch das mit 6.500 Zimmern größte Hotel der Welt „Asia-Asia“. Die Gesamtkosten für Bawadi werden auf ca. 100 Milliarden Dirham (ca. 17,5 Milliarden EURO) geschätzt. DubaiLand, Wonderland, Wild Wadi, Falcon City of Wonders Die derzeitigen Freizeitparks Wonderland und Wild Wadi werden 2009 starke Konkurrenz durch DubaiLand bekommen, den dann größten Freizeitpark der Welt, in dem mit dem Dubai Wheel das größte Riesenrad der Welt gebaut wird. Teil von DubaiLand ist der Wasser- Vergnügungspark Aqua Dubai. In Betrieb ist bereits die Skihalle Ski Dubai. Die Falcon City of Wonders ist eine geplante Stadt mit maßstabsgetreuen Repliken der sieben antiken Weltwunder plus moderne Wunder wie dem Eiffelturm und dem indischen Grabmal Taj Mahal. Dubai Mall, Mall of Arabia In Downtown Dubai befindet sich die Ende 2008 eröffnete Dubai Mall, eines der größten Einkaufszentren der Welt. Im DubaiLand entsteht bereits mit der Mall of Arabia das dann größte Einkaufszentrum der Welt, deren Eröffnung 2010 geplant ist. Page 3 from 4 Culture Village Gegenüber der Dubai Festival City, direkt am Dubai Creek, entsteht der neue Stadtteil, die Venedig als Vorbild nehmende Culture Village. The Lagoons Bis zum Jahre 2011 soll das Quartier The Lagoons am Dubai Creek entstehen, in dem ebenfalls Kultureinrichtungen, u.a. ein Opernhaus, von Wohnsiedlungen umgeben sein werden.

    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.

  • 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. INTRODUCTION MOHAMED EL AMROUSI Initially, a port city with an Indo-Persian mercantile community, Dubai’s devel- Abu Dhabi University opment along the Creek or Khor Dubai shaped a unique form of city that is con- stantly reinventing itself.
