The Failure of Dubai's $10 Billion Artificial Islands

  • Dubai's Artificial Islands are one of the largest development projects in history, and were a key part of the City's history. After being announced back in 2002, these projects were intended to completed in 2010. But all of this changed after the 2008 financial crisis, with only one of the islands being fully completed. Both The Palm Jebel and The World were permanently put on hold as a result of the slowing real estate market. Twenty years later, and these projects still sit completely abandoned, with reports stating that The World Islands have began sinking back into the Persian Gulf.
    But all of this changed just recently, with the developer, Nakheel Properties announcing a $5 Billion Plan to save these islands. Therefore, why are they redeveloping this massive real estate project, and will these massive real estate projects ever be fully completed?

    Cheap land is a tenet of suburban development. Why is Dubai making expensive land to build suburbs, when it is surrounded by desert?.. Luxury developments are less luxurious for having sewage etc infrastructure connections constantly broken, and this is in existing Dubai developments!

      People who buy homes on these islands are all multi millionaires and billionaires. They demand waterfront properties.

      The sewage ?
      Was there last month… and with latest flooding aftermath, we can see the true reality…. Without power, without sewage, without communication, with plenty of mosquitoes, sewage smell , cracks in buildings , very very poor quality of the infrastructure in place…. As John Maynard Keynes stated : When the facts changed,
      I change my mind, what do you do Sir?”… Dubai is appropriate for precious metal trades as it has an excellent infrastructure and financial hub to accommodate this type of activity… Property..hummm nada
