I’ve heard that more than 15% of all the world’s super cranes are at work in the UAE building such things as an indoor snow sky facility. It could be considered a special case, but there is also a super skyscraper under construction in China.

Saw a story on this tower a while back and thought of your paper on the subject. Glad to see your post on the subject. I’m interested to know if anyone here is familiar with the economic conditions in the UAE? As I understand there are a number of incredible architectural projects underway in the UAE – including the Hydropolis underwater hotel. I hope someone here is more familiar with the current operations of the UAE central bank than I, and can perhaps shed some light.

Mike
