What in the hell is your problem with the intersection on the entrance of the island, how in the hell will the residents and visitors alike, access their vilas/apartments/hotels?

That is the only road access to a 2 miles long & 2 miles wide archipelagus. My worry and the other Dubai residents, is that it will not be enough and they should have already planned BIGGER with 2 more lanes in each directions.

Exactly. 10k-15k people per island and probably that amount again of people wanting to visit it just to look around each day (obviously some time after it's build...i dare say that they'll be a rush of people wanted it visit soon after completion) you need that much roadway. It may look unattractive but it's cost effective and it gets the job done. Problem will come when they need to expand it...if they ever build anything in place of the villas...because there's no where to put any more road apart from going skywards which would look worse.

Wow what a fantastic picture.

Will look even better when the greenery starts going onto the island.

I love this photo. Don't really know why each house has a pool, then they have their own beach. Probably more privacy, and fresh water.

My villa is almost done there!!!

That's so you can have a pool party.

snail456 · June 16th, 2006, 09:00 AM

I want the one with the golden globes on the top :P.

Also there doesn't seem to much in the way of beach for each villa...their almost sitting on the water. It might just be that view though.

I think they had no choice to cram in as many houses as possible to make it cost effective.

dubaiflo · June 17th, 2006, 08:23 PM

also, the main point is the houses are quite close together, but have a massive open space in front, where the beach is.

watch the latest nakheel coporate video to get an idea of this.

What is the boat size limit in there? It looks vey small running for big ones creating big waves.

Boat police for people speeding betwen fronds?

I agree. Some trees and green grass where they can put it will make the place look even more amazing.

believe me this thing is so massive it almost every boat would be able to ship there.

did u watch the video?

in the photos everything looks quite small because u can't compare, but this island is 5 x 5.5km..

Open Road · June 18th, 2006, 01:42 AM

It still confounds me that people bitch about how many houses are crammed together. Has anyone here EVER been to the west coast? LA, San Diego, San Francisco... mile after mile after mile of homes crammed shoulder to shoulder. Hell, at least these places look nice, and while close together, it's not like they share a wall. Too many kids from the 'burbs...

The houses are too close together.
