Dubai by Syed Ali
In less than two decades, Dubai has transformed itself from an obscure Gulf emirate into a global centre for business, tourism, and luxury living. It is a case study in light-speed urban development, hyperconsumerism, massive immigration, and vertiginous inequality. This work analyzes how and at what cost Dubai has achieved such success.
"At last, a comprehensive expose of the economic and sexual exploitation that erected this utopia of greedSyed Ali has seen the future in Dubai and it doesn't work." - Mike Davis, author of Planet of Slums -- Mike Davis
