This remindsof the superman movie!

There’ss no way to make your own land without effecting the rest of the planet!!! Certainly you’re going to effect the world map if nothign else, with two huge massive island projects.

“The Palm Islands are the three largest man-made islands being built on the coast of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. They are date palm tree shaped islands are being developed by dubai-based real estate develoers Al Nakheel Properties.”

“The Palm Islands are the three largest man-made islands being built on the coast of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. They are date palm tree shaped islands are being developed by dubai-based real estate develoers Al Nakheel Properties.”

What do you think of this?
“The World Islands are a collection of man-made islands shaped into the continents of the world, located off the coast of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. It will consist of 300 small private artificial islands divided into four categories – private homes, estate homes, dream resorts, and community islands. Each island will range from 250 to 900 thousand square feet (23.2 to 83.6 thousand square meters) in size, with 50 to 100 metres (164 to 328 feet) of water between each island. It will cover a total area of 9 kilometers (5.4 miles) in length and 6 kilometers (3.6 miles) in width, surrounded by an oval shaped breakwater. The only means of transportation between the islands will be by marine or air transport.”

Thanks for your thoughts and ideas on this…

What do they use? How can they be sure it will erode away? What are thier Islands made from? Have you ever been there to that Palm-tree shaped Island?

And they have all these lambos and expensive rare cars, the world’s tallest building by far, etc.

I know they get the money cause of oil, but are they the richest country in the world? I also saw some islands that were shaped like palm trees or whatever, did they make these or are they natural?

Also, are they a 3rd world country or more like US, UK, France, etc.?

When i went to these countries, I see huge cranes everywhere. These countries are developing so fast..huge beautiful apartments..stores..shopping malls…roads and subways systems…their economies are just booming..with tons of jobs..even though its low pay…look at Dubai and their beeautiful palm islands and that record tall building…why is the US so lagging behind? I live in MA and our buildings are so old…and our subway system is just embarrassing compared to Asian subways systems…for example MTR system in hong kong…In china theres like at least one KFC and Mcdonald being built and opened every day..thats rediculous…In the city that I live…I already seen 2 KFC and a Mcdonald go out of buisness and close down…ehhhh kinda pathetic…can anyone explain? or add

For example, like Palm Island in Dubai. What do they do to make it strong enough to stay put?
