New geography of the global building site: Dubai
One of the most scale, amazing and paradoxical town-planning phenomena on the planet is the project of of Dubai’s site development. â€Persian Gulf is on the front line of impetuous modernization with the most active growth of urbanistic formations. The Gulf, which has started the development owing to the oil, passes a phase hyper-development, preparing for an inevitable exhaustion of oil stocksâ€, - writes in the research “Gulf” well-known Dutch architect Rem Kolhaas.
In Dubai it is staked on mass construction of outstanding buildings. New wonders of the world grow there in abundance: the only in the world seven-star hotel “Sail”, a huge mountain-skiing slope in a shopping center in the middle of the desert, the highest building of the world, fantastic artificial islands-palm trees, the house as the Arab, Rotating Building, the house from Porshe designers and so forth. Scales of construction amaze. Today over 30 thousand hoisting cranes are concentrated on a small site of a land (a coastal line of only 50 km). Moreover, every fourth high-rise crane of the world works here. Volumes of investments into the real estate are estimated in hundreds billions dollars annually.
An interesting detail - the planet’s largest building sites today are in not liberal countries. They are China with the communist party, in Dubai with sheikh Mohammed Al-Makhmut, who possesses all ground area and the control over the three largest developers of the country - Nakheel, Emaar and Dubai World.
