They have not failed, the pandemic caused the economy of the world to come to a crawl but it won't stop the islands from being developed. Recently there are announcements on the continuation of the islands. Usually the ones saying negative things about the development of the islands tend to be idiots from the west who are either looney tree huggers or islamophobic racists.
I think one of the biggest issues with further development of those new islands is the fact that there is only a limited number of multi-millionaires and billionaires in the world who could afford to live there or buy or build a mansion or estate home there. They should have included work force housing on site, both as a way to reduce road traffic, and to diversify the local population. The other factor is that, for a lot of European and North American travelers or people wealthy enough to live there, Islamic rules and laws, which the local population grew up with and live by, and not going to attract that many people. Limited or no alcohol? Limited rights for women and the LGBTQIA+ communities? That is going to be a problem for a lot of people from the west, or Asia. Not to mention that living there in the summer months would be uncomfortable at best - most foreigners live in more comfortable climates. While some do like the desert heat, most don't. Add in dust storms and the constant threat of sun burns causing skin cancer, and it's really only a place for people to enjoy during the cooler months of the year.
@@TomJacksonDXB No, I'm not wealthy enough to travel there. I really would love to, as I love architecture and would love to see all the amazing buildings they have built. In 50 years, it will be the "Venice" of the Middle east, after it's all underwater, due to climate change.
Well encapsulated. Like China's Three Gorges Dam, its massive reservoir now evaporating into huge floods, they don't think even *one step* beyond the project itself.
Well, they’ve resumed palm jebel Ali construction and re-planned the palm deira to be some other type of island. So maybe there’s still hope. Still wasteful, drought with challenges of erosion and other degradation, environmentally unfriendly and financially reckless. I think the worst idea is the “world” islands. They look rather unsightly and require plumbing, electrical and other infrastructure to be installed by the purchaser. This is a huge deterrent I would imagine lol
Well, this channel is allegedly based in the UAE - so get out of the office, travel to the islands and you'll find that most days they stink. They were designed forgetting that stagnant water is not a nice neighbor, and boy, do those islands create a lot of stagnant water.
2008 is an excuse for investors who got ripped off. All of the islands will sink, and they know it. What is worse is that the climate sucks at the Tropic of Cancer in the desert, not to mention they will run out of water before oil.
Organic development vs inorganic. This is what plagues those developing country governments who want rapid development - including China - you can't force it into being - it will always turn people off.
A remarkable video that discusses massive sea-level construction projects without once mentioning rising levels due to climate change, but he assures us that these will be engineering marvels of the future.
I've been in Dubai several times.There are big space inland in Dubai..That can be developed very good instead of this artificial with now is slowly sinking..The tourist is back less
No the 2nd one they held onto everyone's money for TWENTY years and still aren't returning it. Let alone returning it with compensation. Basically state developers in Dubai are criminals with the support of the so called leader.
Well these weren't built. The state developers just stole everyone's money and still haven't returned it after 20yrs (but continue to use that money for other things). Nothing but common criminals.
I wish the world would pick a lane - and I hope the lane is metric. I live in the U.S., and I have lived all my life with English units of measure; and, while I hate the idea of changing over, I hate having to divide / multiply by 8, 12, 16, and other "odd duck" integer numbers when scaling up or down. In metric, you just move a decimal point. Plus, English measurements all owe their basics to some arbitrary standard, like the "foot", usually after lengthy haggling & arguing about it for a few centuries. At least the metric system is based on an objective, common sense, and universal reality, not some compromise hammered out by decades (or, in some cases, centuries) of trial & error.
Why did Dubai build islands that cost 10s of billions of dollars? Because they can. And they have so much money that nothing excites them so they’re super bored and miserable. Dubai is everything wrong with the world.
@@donbrashsux Jealous af 😂 You westerners don't know how to take the L. Whenever something in the world is better than what you have you instantly hate on it. It's truly incredible.
@@gonxhunter1941 "westerners". don't understand what nationalism has to do with this. Dubai is an objectively terrible place, it exploits indian and african immigirants, the buildings look nice but the layout and infrastructure is terrible. Just alot of overall corruption.
Why are so many channels using AI or computer narration ?? It greatly reduces the credibility and enjoyment of the videos !! Can you not find someone with a decent voice and good reading and comprehension ? This monotone and emotionless droning on makes me switch it off.
I wonder if this site is at least partly 'embedded' - i.e. contracted to say only positives? Others show more doubt: e.g. int'l tourism push when women, LGBetc would face restrictions & stern prejudice.
@@Uhhhhidkwho what a great ideology. First, arabs dont control persian gulf second, just because there is a fucked up regime, doesn’t mean you have to erase the history. Maybe we should change your mom’s name since i own her now
It contains stupid content. The Emirate of Dubai does not contain long beaches. It also does not contain oil like Abu Dhabi. Each emirate is considered independent.
Thanks to king Shaikh Mohammad he has guts to build this kind of structures which is impossible in this country but Allah will he is doing it alhumdulilah meri duaa hai Allah se Allah Shaikh Mohammad nad his entire family and his entire team ko sehat aur afiyat ata kare meen .

Those islands have failed, more have been already cancelled. Other issues are stagnant water, sinking, erosion etc land is not selling you name it

Or foreigners to run it!

They should ask the Dutch for advice. They literally build half a country where there was once only water. And nothing is sinking.

No sewer system ! Great plan! Raising seas! Lots of money, no long term ideas!
keep crying 😪
When did u head Dubai has no sewer system 2001?? They have it now idiot it’s one of the best in the gulf

So what is the real reason it failed? I didn't hear it. The whole video seem to be nothing but excuses of why it's not a failure.
Clickbait title.
this was bizarr, this whole channel is bizarr. is this like a state sponsored channel?
the moment this country lost its reserves would be a show to watch 🍿.
Dubai stopped depending on oil long ago you ignorant. They don't even have that much now.
They could have built them inland and been so beautiful too
And there is people out there who can't afford a tin of beans in their cupboard. 🇬🇧

Stagnant water
How did the islands do during the big rain last month? I can’t find any info.
Nothing happened Litrally I live there
I've been in Dubai several times.There are big space inland in Dubai..That can be developed very good instead of this artificial with now is slowly sinking..The tourist is back less
It’s too hot and empty the ocean is better
I don't understand the video. The first Palm was a huge success and the second one is being developed
No the 2nd one they held onto everyone's money for TWENTY years and still aren't returning it. Let alone returning it with compensation. Basically state developers in Dubai are criminals with the support of the so called leader.
Except the project hasn't failed. Anyone here can easily search it up. Claiming that the properties are mostly empty is simply not true.
How much are they paying you? And can i get in on the deal too?
Next time, mix the sand, with concrete ...
Lol it stinks because water doesn't move in and out with the tides.
SUPPLY & DEMAND… pretty simple.
Remember Atlantis was a man made city too..and was swept over by a massive wave . And gone forevermore ...😳
Looks as repeating as workers settlements in 19th century Manchester😢
A lot of inaccuracies in this from the very start, even got the sq ft of Dubai wrong, confusing it with the UAE 🤦♂️
Palm Jumeriah is not 100% completed . Palm Deria has been cancelled. palm Jebel Ali has just been relaunched in September 2023.
Does any city build things cooler than Dubai?
NEOM
does any country was faster build by slaves as Dubai?
I live in Sweden and tbh every city here are more beautiful and interesting than Debai
