The World is a man-made archipelago of 300 islands constructed in the shape of a world map and located 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) off the coast of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The World is one of several artificial island projects being constructed in Dubai, others being the Palm Islands. Like the other artificial island projects, The World is built primarily using sand dredged from the sea. It was developed by Nakheel Properties and was originally conceived by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai.
Each island in the archipelago ranges from about 14,000 m² (150,000 square feet) to 42,000 m² (450,000 square feet). The distance between each island will be an average of 100 metres (328 feet). The entire development covers an area of 9 km in length and 6 km in width, surrounded by an oval breakwater. Roughly 232 km (144 miles) of shoreline has been created. The overall development cost of The World was estimated as 14 billion USD. As for the individual islands, prices range between 15 and 50 million USD. One island is still for sale at a price of 250 million USD.Dubai Waterfront is an 81 million square metre waterfront development comprising of 250 master planned communities and is bigger than Manhattan and Beirut. A balanced mix of residential, retail, commercial and industrial developments spread over 20,000 acres of prime beachfront land, Dubai Waterfront is the largest waterfront development in the world and will provide homes for more than 500,000 residents.
Waterfront will add more than 70 kilometres to Dubai's coastline. [3] It will encompass an area of 1.4 billion square feet of water and land developments, an area twice the size of Hong Kong. It is expected to house an estimated population of 1.5 million people.
The Dubai Waterfront is projected to become the world’s biggest waterfront and the biggest man-made development/expansion in the world. The project is a collection of man-made islands and canals. It is an 81 million meters of great development. It consists of many zones which include residential, commercial, resort, and recreational areas. The ultimate vision of The Dubai Waterfront.
