I spent some short but quality time in Dubai, well before the man-made islands. I'd be happy to do some vacation time there. But not in the summer. No.

Cool video Abdul, but the title is misleading. They didn't ban skyscrapers, they just made the permit process harder. So ... while not a fail, it's not a win either. Really, just growing pains.

Also, in the video is a recommend: How America lost the skyscraper race.

When did it become a race? Mega-tall skyscrapers seem like mega-pain-in-the-ass to me.

Well, I always heard that skyscrapers were supposedly phallic symbols. This one just looks especially phallic.
