It's simply mesmerizing to see in one simple animation Dubai's Coastal Expansion over the 1984 to 2012 stretch. This shows and proves (if needed) that Dubai is not limited by its "natural" geography and can expand practically endlessly by gaining on the sea (although we still need to learn what is the official status of "The World"). And that's just the Coastal Expansion. Imagine capturing the Real Estate Boom in a similar way... Quite frankly fascinating no matter what is your take on the subject, whether you are a fan of Dubai's crazy boom or consider it like many an artificial location with nothing really genuine about it. In all cases, enjoy and appreciate what can be done in a matter of just 28 years!
