BTW, from tomorrow until the 8th I'll be away playing with our national orchestra so will be away for that time. I won't be able to update this until then.
Could the dubai forumers still update this thread if there's any new stuff, or new renders of old stuff? Especially since that 4 seasons hotel is supposed to be released next week. |

Salam,
Dont mean to generate any negative energy here, since i wish Emarates the Best of Luck for future, i feel that the developments in this oil-rich semi-desert part of the world is unsustainable. This is because it is un-natural. Building big requires big business (read big industrial infrastructure). If it is based purely on oil, tourism and shipping, it is unsustainable in the longer run. Having said that, i would agree that Dubai is almost unbelieveable... It is fantastic. Peace.

here is another article on this unsustainable growth:
 Dubai GDP posts 16pc growth; tops $37 billion Posted: Saturday, December 31, 2005 Dubai Dubai’s economy grew around 16 per cent in 2005 and is estimated to reach Dh136 billion ($37.02 billlion), according to a statement from the Dubai Department of Economic Development (DED). The emirate’s economic growth would continue its steady pace and is expected to touch the Dh150 billion mark in 2006, a statement said. The growth rate is higher than that of China, acknowledged to be one of the fastest growing economies in the world today with a growth rate of 8.5 per cent, said a DED statement. Emphasising that 2005 had witnessed a consolidation of Dubai’s meteoric growth, Mohamed Ali Alabbar, director general, DED, reiterated that Dubai’s economy is sustainable over the long term. “At current prices, Dubai’s GDP has recorded a significant increase and is estimated to reach Dh136 billion in 2005 up from Dh118.4 billion in 2004,” said Alabbar. “When compared to Dh62.3 billion in 2000 and Dh44.7 billion for the year 1996, this puts the accumulated annual growth of Dubai’s economy in the last decade at among the highest rate of growth in the world,” he explained. Alabbar underlined the remarkable success of the diversification policy, which has been consistently adopted by the emirate in the 80’s and has been supported by the DED, which first developed strategic plan in 1997. “The non-oil GDP grew by 14.92 per cent in 2005 and is estimated to reach Dh128.4 billion, up from Dh11.7 billion in 2004 and Dh92.5 billion in 2003. Compared with figures for 1996 when the non-oil GDP was only Dh38.17billion, this shows a record rise of 236 per cent in the last decade,” he said. “Dubai’s economy has continued to grow at a significant pace in the last few years as a result of the innovative and forward looking strategies of the government,” said Alabbar. “The establishment of transparent policies that support and encourage private enterprise has generated greater confidence in the economy,” he said. “In formulating these policies, the Government of Dubai has always received extensive support from the private sector, which has come forward with innovative initiatives and suggestions, to further develop the business environment in the emirate,” said Alabbar acknowledging the contribution of the private sector to Dubai’s economic growth. Alabbar added that in addition to the constant growth of non-oil sectors, high oil prices have also contributed to Dubai achieving steady growth rates. “Backed by consistently high oil prices, Dubai’s oil GDP grew by 18 per cent over last year’s Dh6.7 billion and is estimated to touch Dh7.9 billion, although the contribution of oil to Dubai’s overall GDP has remained close to the 2004 levels at 5.8 per cent,” said Alabbar. “In turn, the contribution of the non-oil sector to the emirate’s GDP was 94.20 per cent in 2005,” he added. Alabbar noted that the government initiatives had enabled a continuous inflow of foreign capital - a trend that is expected to be maintained with the prevailing lucrative return on investment in key sectors. He pointed out that the department, in addition to main economic sectors, will focus towards setting up a viable industrial sector, which is the real evidence of true economic growth, through the establishment of industrial incubators. |
