Dubai is a beautiful city based on pictures I have seen. They are planning for a post-oil world, and are becoming a tourism and commercial center for the Middle East. I'd like to visit there sometime.

Someday, when the oil runs dry or an alternative becomes practical, the middle east will be peppered with the world's most modern edifices no one wants to visit.

What a terrible design. The floor plates look useless. I cannot believe they are building this thing out of poured concrete instead of steel. Look what they have to do in order to get the structural integrity they need. Every floor has concrete bearing walls 20 feet on center. Even a portion of the outer skin is bearing. The interior floorplate will be all cut up and very limited in layout. Poured concrete for a limited use such as apts. is one thing, but the commercial space will be almost useless.
Obviously this is about ego and not function. Petro dollars hard at work.

The construction workers are being paid less than $1/hr? 4 weeks @ 60 hours/week = 240 hours / month. $200 / month / 240 hours = $0.83/hour.
