Dubai may be the most environmentally unsustainable place on earth, certainly among the most conspicuously extravagant, reportedly with the world's highest per-capita rate of natural resource consumption.

Nice timing. Just as the place starts falling apart. Late on your mortgage payments. Go to the royal family private jail.
I wonder will all the ads with women in them will they all be wearing burkas?
i hope you're kidding
I wonder if it'll mention the growing income disparity, and the disenfranchisement of the working class. It'll be interesting to see if they will mention that while it seems to be Westernizing, those who are being left behind grow more restenful and find more comfort with radical Islam and not popular Western magazines. Yes, it may be growing and coming up with some neat architecture, but let's not forget the human element. What I truely wonder is what happens to the Mid East when the world gives up oil, or at least cuts back drastically. It's only decades away before Europe is done, maybe a bit longer for the US and China.
