Amazing Before and After Pics of Dubai

We recently featured the brand new immense Dubai Airport Terminal, and just ran across this nice pictorial with before and after photos of Dubai spanning just 18 years, as well as some artist renderings of what things may look like within the next 10 years.

One cool stat – Dubai is estimated to have 15 to 25% of the world’s construction cranes. Wow.

The Lilypad floating city concept

Although it’s just a concept, an idea, the Lilypad elicits a ‘wow’ when you see the artist-imagined images. The idea is relatively simple – a floating city that can hold about 50,000 people that is self-sustaining. Why? Well, what if the oceans do rise and we lose a lot of existing landmass, particularly with all of the coastal cities that we have around the world?
