dubai will be reclaimed by the desert, and the tall towers will stand as monuments to the guest workers who died building them.

You guys are idiots. Dubai barely has any oil to begin with. Their foreign revenue mostly comes for being a trade- and financial centre. They have managed to become an important global city on the back of an oil-industry that now is less than a fifth of their exports.

No, actually, most of their money comes from syndicated loans from foreign, large international banks who collaterize with oil assets and projected cash flows from the oil sheiks in and about OPEC who are building a city from nothing as a personal legacy project.

And they're not an important global city, they're somewhere below Toronto and above Wollongong.

Trump likes Dubai so much he wants to build a tower there. I don't think he would ever consider such a thing in ancient and cultured cities like Beirut and Damascus.

The taste of gulf arabs matches that of Donald Trump.

It looks like there's glitter on his name ffs

skyscrapers built after ~1960 are lame as fuck.

skyscrapers are no longer cool or a status of power or culture anymore. it's just some shot little brown/yellow man trying to tell the world that he's not a dumb nigger and he can build things too. it's pathetic and lame.

they're also impractical in most situations. i'd rather have a bunch of small/medium high buildings densely together than a handful of tall MUH DIK poverty towers.

also, glass buildings are almost ALWAYS ugly whereas brick buildings are almost ALWAYS attractive.

Why did you make this thread? Who cares?
Why can't you just live your life where you are and enjoy the place you live in.
Why do you need to make threads on 4chan about it? City living is terrible anyway.

I'd prefer Baghdad 1000 times if they maintained the comfy arabic architecture (we're talking about architecture and landscapes, otherwise of course I'd rather stay in Hong Kong).

>>69573570
Looks like a cretin founded project to demarcate an lovely sorround with the tall concrete block with it's name written in yellow on top.

And there must be people who would literally even pay to inhabit those lower floors supporting the Pyramid's king over their heads.

Nah pretty sure Dubai gets most of its revenue from tourism and finances. lol

It's always funny when people think they know what they're talking about just cause they throw in the words "oil sheikh".

>>69567326
This post is dumb because European cities are a lot older than Dubai. Much older.
Of course they're not going to have many tall buildings because their cities stay true to the layout in which they formed. There's barely any room to build anything super big there. Plus, the governments have very tight regulations on building tall anyway. It's their own aesthetic and it's perfectly fine.

No, it's fucking shit. Why would you claim otherwise? You're an arab living in the US, you have no reason to be in denial.

>>69580128
You don't think European cities look nice?

>>69580441
Not exactly, the streets tend to be a clusterfuck you get lost in for example. I think cities should exist for the benefit of it's inhabitants and not for American tourists with a hardon for old buildings.

>revenue

I'm not denying it gets much of its revenue nowadays from that, but the various megaprojects (world's biggest X/Y/Z) were all funded by foreign banks at an extremely high leverage ratio, not revenue.

It's a city built from foreign capital, using foreign Architects, and by foreign workers.

It lacks all passion, vision, and any sense of individuality or reflection of the local culture. It's the epitome of an obsession with big, large things even at the cost of cultural delegitimacy.

I really love big, sprawling cities, but they need to have character. Any kind of character. Hong Kong is a hive of cheap skyscrapers, but that speaks to its nature. New York City has its own skyline of triumphant american towers filled with taxis and irrepentant consumerism. Tokyo is a sprawling megalopolis with quirky buildings and neon lights which again speaks to its character.

Dubai lacks that. World's biggest shopping mall. World's tallest building. World's biggest indoor ski hill. Pathetic.
