 They should make ugly cities 
 
 I bet their subway system is better than Chicago's too! “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

 The ruler of Dubai might be a ruthless autocrat but he's at least building his kingdom to last beyond the end of their oil.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

 The special I saw said the transport system currently sucks but that they're already starting to build a state of the art system. It's amazing what unlimited amounts of oil money can build even though most of it is nothing more then white elephants.Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui

 How is this going to survive when the oil money runs out? Or is he really building a cool site that future civs will find buried under the sand?Originally posted by Oerdin

 That's their stated goal. Supposedly Dubai is almost out of oil and that's why their Emir is going on a building spree; to create an alternative economy to the oil economy. The big problem I see is he's trying to create an economy by subsidizing everything in order to attract companies to relocate to Dubai. Once the oil runs out, and thus the subsidies, what's to stop the companies from simply relocating to the next subsidy haven?Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.
