The Dubai Waterfront
Dubai is one of the fastest growing cities worldwide. Recently, I had an entry about The World, a set of man-made islands in the formation of the world. This video is a tour of the Dubai Waterfront, another city that is being developed in Dubai.
Introducing Dubai Waterfront, the result of two years of work sessions and feasibility studies by world-renowned architects, planners, engineers and consultants, all led by Nakheel, Dubai’s premier development company. An unprecedented offering at an unimaginable scale, Dubai Waterfront is bigger than Manhattan and Beirut, and offers investors over 250 master-planned communities.The vision behind Dubai Waterfront is to create a world-class destination for residents, visitors and businesses in the world’s fastest growing city. This ambitious development is organised around key components of the master plan, encompassing a new downtown, Madinat Al Arab, which is anchored by Al Burj – one of the world’s tallest buildings.
Surrounding the harbour is a series of zones with mixed use, commercial, residential, resort and amenity areas. Together they form the symbol of Dubai’s meteoric rise, and the grand intent of this truly unprecedented master plan.
