The islands’ concept is freakin awesome. But what about tsunamis? I think a tsunami would kill a lot of people on those islands.

I love the concepts but the fact that we are building in un-natural locations makes one wonder.

How long do you have to burn fossil fuel to warm the climate and make ocean levels rise above those islands?

i liked your article, interesting, short & to the point. Would have been great if you had included links to the developers’ home pages though (why not?)
As for the spanish /ME spat, while the ME is not everyone’s cup of tea, it does have some serious advantages (zero crime & tax free) as well as some disadvantages (Dubai is very expensive, weather can be oppressive & boring). i’ve lived in the ME for 6 years so have some understanding of it.
Oh – there is also another attractive reclaim development in Bahrain – Durrat Al-Bahrain.

they usually are environmentally friendly… the ones in the UAE for example when being built were protested by activists, but the miles of new shoreline and artificial reefs created whole new ecosystems, friendly to the environment.

I’d heard about the Dubai island reclamation and have been watching with interest, but didn’t realize it was so widespread. Thanks for the info!

I would want to live in Mexico, even Mexico City, depite its pollution, if I could find a place to hang out in San Angel, or a “stupid spanish country” although there is no such thing as a “Spanish Country”, so who the heck, I might ask, is really stupid here!?

I think Juanacatlan is just making a point about the political volatility of the middle east–why the need to respond with barely disguised ethnic slurs,Bob?

Really cool. I’ve already seen that on a brazilian maganize.
