So you don't like the Churchill Towers. :D

I think they look alright, but I would like to see them named a bit different than "churchill".

What is that blue Skyscraper?

It looks very intriguing.

I don't really like the churchill residency because it rips off the chrysler building

Wow! These are simply sensational designs to look at. Where do most of the designers come from? Why con't the U.S.A. build these types of highrises?

Because the UAE has opened to foreign investment in the past 10+ years. The US has been open to foreign markets quite a bit longer. Plus, Dubai is the center of trade for the Mid-East, serving as a great port city in the Persian Gulf. Not to mention it's in the dead center of the Mid East, and a great Mid point between Asian and Europe. Also, Dubai has just began to bank on tourism, so a lot of these tower developments are residential. Dubai is the only "big city" in the UAE, while the US has several large cities like Houston, Dallas, New York, Atlanta, San Francisco, LA, Seattle, Minneapolis, Chicago, etc.

This place is simply incredible! I want to know where all thes people are supposedly moving from. Obviously the money is there, but with all the new residential towers being built, where do these people live now? :huh:

Well, population growth is very high but still, there will be an oversupply in a few years. The city grows by about 100,000 a year or maybe even more. They just did a census so details might be out soon.

Most people there are expatriates though so they come in from all over the world. Over there they're trying their hardest to attract businesses, etc. which creates jobs and so on

^^ not much really, except that it's being developed by dubai properties (also doing the whole business bay masterplan). They must have reserved a few plots for themselves.

Does Dubai have a plan to deal with all the smog that is beginning to choke the city? Is there any type of public transportation in the city as of now?
