  • 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.

  • Island Studies Journal, Vol. 10, No. 2, 2015, Pp. 181-196 Futures, Fakes
    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. An engineering odyssey to create an island paradise of sea, sand and sky, a destination has arrived that allows investors to chart their own course and make the world their own.

  • World's First “The Els Club” Launched at Dubai Sports City
    For Immediate Release: 28 January 2008 World’s First “The Els Club” Launched at Dubai Sports City Former British and US Open Golf Champion Will Own Property Onsite for Both Business & Pleasure Dubai, United Arab Emirates Golf legend Ernie Els – the world’s current number five ranked golfer and former British and US Open champion – today officially inaugurated the world’s first The Els Club at Dubai Sports City alongside a host of VIP attendees and leading figures from the world of sport. While Els has designed courses in North America, Asia, and Africa, only a select number of developments worldwide will bear The Els Club name, the hallmark of facilities which will benefit substantially from direct and ongoing personal input from Els and his team. And, significantly, only The Els Club at Dubai Sports City will serve as the global base for the golf legend’s international design business operation. Els has made a further personal commitment to the project as he will have a home and base for his international business at Dubai Sports City. Ernie Els said: “Today’s launch of The Els Club here in Dubai – the first of its kind anywhere in the world – is truly a special moment for all of us who have been involved on this magnificent project since its inception. The Els Club at Dubai Sports City will be a truly timeless, world-class golf experience for players at all levels.” With a range of thoughtfully-placed tee boxes, fairway pot bunkers and green complexes, coupled with carefully-developed undulation, The Els Club’s 18-hole, championship golf course offers a unique addition to the Middle East’s growing range of world-class golf facilities.

  • Island Locations and Classifications Christian Depraetere Arthur L
    Chapter 2 Island Locations and Classifications Christian Depraetere Arthur L. Dahl Definitions Defining an island, or the state of'islandness', is never straightforward, though this is fundamentally a question of isolation, whether of land isolated by water, or of one enriry being separated from others. This chapter adopts a positivist approach to explore the geographic realities behind our concept ofislands. There is in fact a continuum ofgeographic entities that can fit the definition of "a piece of land surrounded by water": from the continent of Eurasia to the rock on a beach lapped by the waves that becomes a child's imaginary island. Drawing the line between something that is too large to be an island, or too small ro be an island, ultimately remains an arbitrary decision. If one concurs with Holm (2000) that "an island is whatever we call an island", we can select from the traditional uses, the convenient distinctions and arbitrary choices of the past, a terminology for islands that corresponds to scientific observations gleaned from geological, biological and human perspectives. Fortunately, the new tools of remote sensing satellite imagery (such as WORLDWIND for global LAt'\JDSAT imagery by NASA: http: //worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/) provide data sets that make possible for the first time some globally consistent and homogenous measurements of that 'world archipelago' made up ofall those pieces ofland surrounded by water. At the same time, our understanding of geotecwnic movements, sea level changes and island-building processes allows us to see the oceanic 57 A World ofIslands: An Island Studies Reader Island Locations and Classifications islands of today not as erernal entities but as one static image captured The World Archipelago from ongoing processes of islands growing and shrinking, joining and The wor/d during antiquiry as illustrated in the work of Herodotus, being separated, appearing and disappearing through time.

Project date: 2006-2007 Products: Sure-Grip® Situation Built to help sustain the economy after the depletion of the country’s oil reserves, the Palm Islands in Dubai present an incredible engineering feat. As the largest manmade island in the world, the reclaimed land was designed to resemble a palm tree topped with a crescent. Naturally, the construction of this megastructure required extensive infrastructure. Agru was heavily involved as early as the technical planning and design stages of this massive project. Together with BMC Gulf, the stringent specification requirements were mapped out and realized, and only the highest quality products were selected for construction materials. Solution In particular, Agru HDPE Sure-Grip® liner was selected to protect the bridges’ concrete pilings from seawater corrosion, and Agru’s PE flex geomembranes were used for a waterproof maintenance tunnel and bridge undercrossing. These products were chosen for the Palm Island because of their high quality and durability. Fulfilling the highest requirements for concrete protection, the Sure-Grip® liner with patented anchor stud design has been effectively installed worldwide for more than 20 years. Since 2006, it has been available with a unique seamless width of 5 meters.
