The wow factor is real and important. Regionally, there is 0 differentiation factor between the old village portion of Dubai and the other regional hotspots. There is a large pedestrian vibe in the old quarter, but it’s mainly in the day time and on the opposite side of the creek. Dubai’s primary role is a gateway to “Western” style living for people that cannot easily gain access to Europe/the States. In that they are succeeding.
absence of an actual middle class will keep any street appeal/life from growing. the rich will stick to their towers and private gardens, and the absolute poor will keep trying to keep their heads dry and children fed.
Rich people worked and managed their their wealth while poor people don’t like working smart and managing their wealth. You can not solve this problem by blaming the rich because the rich did not tell you not to become a rich. Therefore, blame yourself for being a poor person.
You haven't seen the suburbs of Dubai. I'm the middle class and so is millions of emiratis. I drive a land cruiser and i have a humble home with a backyard and a small majlis for all my buddies to come and smoke shisha and watch football
No mention of Burj Khalifa poop trucks? Please consider a video studying the relationship between Public Works Dept and Planning Department. Is there a trend for cities that consider practicalities? Houston is similar in that "Planning" does not consistently follow plans (ie bike plan, parks, drainage, sidewalks, etc) and approves variances eventhough common sense tells you they will overwhelm public infrastructure.
As for Huston, Huston is not planned based on left wing liberal plan to fulfill leftwing liberal agendas. Bike lanes crate more traffic jams, and side walk make no sense in Huston due to long distance between one place to another, weather is a big issue for creating any park and drainage system is working well than any blue state that you can name in(Fir example , NY drainage system is shit, 70% of NYC drainage system is broken and can not function during heavy rain or snow).
That was only a thing for few months to meet deadlines of the building opening. So let's get the facts straight, unlike other cities im the world, Dubai gets things done efficiently. Sewage was completed in less than a year of the opening of the tower.
Dubai must be hellish hot, even Houston almost killed my Mom literally though I just sweat buckets. . . . Can anyone calculate if hi rises make good money sense for residences, experts disagree but seems even if 10% is elevator they are cheapest per ft2?? Hi rise apartments if skip parking lots seems best, ala China, maybe Dubai could fill in parking lots with nice buildings and build compact parking structures. If sealevel rides 2m by 2100 is D destroyed?
Usually high rises only make sense in places where land is expensive - I think Dubai built highrises for the wow factor (this can be seen in Qatar, Saudi, etc as well). 2m of sea level rise would do some damage for sure.
@@ScottDaileyTH-cam ... What study says hi rises only make sense in crowded areas? I suspect building 1 hi rise to house 1000 costs less in man-hours and overhead that 500 houses to house 1000. Materials wise, shared floors and walls seem to save Half the concrete and plastics. Energy to operate, even heat escapes to next door to heat neighbor in winter (my god so much heat loss from houses in windy winter).... Hi rises also let more live downtowns near work can reach by dirt path, vs 10 mile commute in cars on 20m thick of concrete asphalt and rock..... I suspect hi rises are best, again what study says otherwise... I'm an idiot just asking questions... I myself lived in 2000 lb Mac26c sailboat from 1980 so do wonder why humans are so unthinking about how we choose and build the shell we need to keep rain off and heat in, it seems so uanalytical we live as ancestors built in 1900 before plastic an fiberglass and even steel hi rises were invented, seems habit we do houses not analysis........ It's weird greens don't push hi rises, they must seem too big and industrial but in fact aren't they the greenest way to live like cutting pollution by 3/4ths as guess? I totally have no solid answers, just asking ....... Greens do like have yards even if with dull grass with all frogs and ferrets killed off, hardly any trees, and imagine this is "natural" way, I think we re that dumb, and we hate idea of hi rise we insist on a yard to feel green, it's pretty funny how weak this idea is but I feel it too... Peace... PS. City planning wise maybe w cellphones to cut boredom, modern rain jackets to warm, good smooth paving my gran who walked 10 miles a day in muddy MN would kill for, and even ebikes, we could re train ourselves to live simpler and work up sweat on 5 mile walks to work an 15mile bike rides, but no one focuses on sweating more it's mostly demand for better transit vehicles since post 1920 we laugh at people walking... Just guessing. ..
Nice video. Kinda quiet tho, maybe up your audio levels

Beautiful 👌place
Going international!

@@patriotamerican3069 we are talking about a country that essentially practices feudalism. take your neo-liberal, Reagan-gobbling rhetoric elsewhere.

Haha I couldn't resist
If you take from the desert it will come back for its land. It will not last. I will not live to see it but it will.
