Remember my earlier post about the picture above, well it got so popular over the internet that the designer was contacted by Matt Groening’s comic book company to make a comic in this style.

Magical Urbanism » Just How Fast is Dubai Growing?

check out these 2 pictures, just amazing that only in 14 years time.., its basically Sim City.

Industry experts cautiously estimate that 15 to 25 per cent of the world’s cranes are in Dubai. Some US$ 90 BILLION are on-going in Dubai alone.

Also, I recently saw an article on a local(Belgian) tv-station, Kanaal3, about Belgian dredging company Jan De Nul building a 310-hectare island on Dubai waterfront.
Check out this AMAZING video! with 3D view and everything.
