The capital of glamor
If anyone would like to take a close look at the huge splendor, admire architectural wonders and technological innovations, we invite you to Dubai.
Dubai is the capital of the Dubai emirate, which is part of the United Arab Emirates, and enjoys great autonomy. Dubai’s Sheikh – Mohamed is simultaneously the vice president and prime minister of the entire state.
Dubai has not always been a global center of trade and construction. Even in the 60s of the last century it was a small town, not reminiscent of a modern metropolis. After finding oil deposits, the city began to grow very quickly, and it is experiencing a boom in construction since 2004. The construction boom is so great that it is estimated that 30% world’s
cranes are located in this city.
Construction projects reflect the latest trends in modern construction and are even ahead of them. In this city for engineers, nothing is impossible and each subsequent project is breathtaking, it is important that it is as high and spectacular as much as possible. When I asked where the center of Dubai is, I got the answer that it changes every few years, depending on the intensity and prestige of newly built buildings. Many buildings are already in the Guinness Book at the design stage.
The wealth and majesty of the city are difficult to describe, so it’s no wonder that Dubai is the largest importer of gold (annually imports about 47 tons of this ore). Dubai is cosmopolitan as evidenced by the fact that 80% of the population are people from outside the country. No wonder international fortunes are growing here, come, most people treat Dubai as a stop to make money and change places. Dubai’s technology and innovation, are equal to bold s-f films, which results is
dehumanization of the city. Dubai is so different from other cities that it is a good city for us to visit but not to live (this sentence is shared by many Dubaiians we meet). It is worth visiting Dubai to look at what the cities of the future will look like, full of technological innovations but sometimes forgetting about an
ordinary man (e.g. a slight amount of pavements, architects assumed that everyone has their own car).
