THE INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY HUB OF THE WORLD--""DUBAI""

HELLO FRIENDS,

TODAY I WILL TALK ABOUT THE CITY WHICH ITSELF HOLDS A GDP GREATER THAN MANY SMALL COUNTRIES.

I KNOW YOU MUST HAVE THAT NAME THAT IS--"DUBAI".

AT PRESENT DUBAI IS THE INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY HUB OF THE WORLD. 

YOU MIGHT BE THINKING THAT HOW A CITY HAS DONE A GREAT JOB IN THE FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION, SO LET'S SEE HOW??

THE DUBAI GOVERNMENT DECISION TO DIVERSIFY FROM A TRADE BASED BUT OIL RELIANT ECONOMY TO ONE THAT IS SERVICE AND TOURISM ORIENTED HAS REAL ESTATE AND OTHER DEVELOPMENTS MORE VALUABLE, RESULTING IN THE PROPERTY BOOM FROM 2004-2006. CONSTRUCTION ON A LARGE SCALE HAS TURNED DUBAI INTO ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING CITIES OF THE WORLD . THERE ARE A NUMBER OF LARGE SCALE PROJECTS WHICH ARE CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION OR WILL BE CONSTRUCTED IN THE FUTURE. 

AND , WHICH WILL BE ALMOST TWICE THE DUE TO HEAVY CONSTRUCTION WHICH IS TAKING PLACE IN DUBAI , 30,000 CONSTRUCTION CRANES , WHICH ARE 25% OF CRANES WORLDWIDE, ARE OPERATING IN DUBAI. DUE TO BURST OF CONSTRUCTION , DUBAI HAS ACQUIRED VARIOUS BUILDING-RELATED RECORDS , WHICH INCLUDE -: THE WORLD'S TALLEST TOWER(BURJ KHALIFA), THE WORLD'S LARGEST SHOPPING MALL(DUBAI MALL) , THE WORLD'S LARGEST FOUNTAIN(THE DUBAI FOUNTAIN ) AND THE WORLD'S TALLEST HOTEL(GEVORA HOTEL). ALSO UNDER CONSTRUCTION OF DUBAILSIZEOF THE WALT DISNEY WORLD RESORT.

ABOUT FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS-: THE DUBAI CITY ALSO KNOWN AS DUBAI VERTICAL CITY IS A PROPOSED SUPERTALL SKYSCAPER DESIGN ANNOUNCED ON 25 AUGUST 2008. THE SUPERTALL CREATED , CREATED BY AN ARCHITECT TO DISPLAY POSSIBLY FUTURE TECHNOLOGIES, IS THE THIRD TALLEST BUILDING EVER FULLY ENVISIONED AFTER THE X-SEED 4000 AND ULTIMA TOWER . IF EVER CONSTRUCTED, THE DUBAI CITY TOWER WILL BE MUCH TALLER THAN ANY OTHER CURRENT MAN-MADE STRUCTURE . IT WOULD BE NEARLY THREE TIMES THE HEIGHT OF THE BURJ KHALIFA WHIH IS CURRENTLY THE TALLEST MAN- MADE STRUCTURE. IT WOULD BE NEARLY THREE TIMES THE HEIGHT OF THE BURJ KHALIFA WHICH IS CURRENTLY THE TALLEST MAN-MADE STRUCTURE EVER BUILT. THE CURRENT DESIGN WILL HAVE 400 FLOORS AND WILL BE 2400m TALL.

THIS WAS ALL ABOUT DUBAI AND I AM SURE THAT IN FUTURE ALSO IT WILL KEEP ON DEVELOPING LIKE THIS AND I THINK THAT OTHER COUNTRIES SHOULD LEARN FROM THEM AND THEY SHOULD ALSO START DEVELOPING LIKE THIS.

THANKS AND REGARDS,

AYUSH & NACHIKET
