Madness of Dubai

In my last post, I talking about the overall development in the wealthy Dubai. In this post, I would continue the development in Dubai but more focus in only skyscrapers to be built in Dubai. In this post, you can have clearer picture of Dubai about how rich are they actually. Seems like Dubai is showing off to the world about how rich are they. The entire city skyline of Dubai is about to cover with supertall skyscrapers. When we were amazed with the beautiful Hong Kong where also to be known as concrete jungle but this time, Dubai is about to win over the eye of the world with its impossible to build city. There are many skyscraper projects that are very interesting in terms of height and design. And there are no normal height in the skyscrapers of Dubai, most of them can easily higher than Taipei 101 and Petronas Twin Towers. There are too many building to listed out in Dubai. Nevertheless, Dubai is crazy!!!

Here are some of the skyscraper projects in Dubai:
1) Burj Dubai, 162 floors
2) The Pentominium, 120 floors
3) Burj Al Alam, 108 floors
4) Marina 101, 102 floors
5) Elite Residence Dubai, 92 floors
6) Dubai Princess Tower, 101 floors
7) The Torch Dubai, 84 floors
8) Ahmed Abdul Rahim Al Attar Tower, 76 floors
9) Al Yacoub Tower, 72 floors
10) 23 Marina, 90 floors
11) The Index, 86 floors
12) Ocean Heights, 82 floors
13) D1 Tower, 80 floors
14) Infinit Dubai Dancing Towers, 52-80 floors
15) Dubai wave Tower, 92 floors
16) Marina Sky Towers, twin 100 floors
17) Hard Rock Hotel Dubai, 91 floors
18) Damac Heights, 105 floors
19) Oasis Beach Hotel Tower, 90 floors
20) Al Sharq Tower, 102 floors
21) The Lighthouse Dubai, 66-80 floors
22) proposed Al Burj, 228 floors

I wondering what is their purpose of building so many skyscrapers with so big office spaces. Do they need so many spaces? Do they take environment problem into account? Can all the building to be fully used once there completed? Let's find out all these in the next few years.
