Unfinished waterfront in Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Red - Dubai Waterfront, Green - Palm Jebel Ali.
The Dubai Waterfront (now known as Waterfront; Arabic: واجهة دبي البحرية, romanized: wājiha Dubayy al-baḥriyya) was expected to become the largest waterfront and largest man-made development in the world.[1] The project is a conglomeration of canals and artificial archipelago; it would occupy the last remaining Persian Gulf coastline of Dubai, the most populous emirate of the United Arab Emirates. It was planned to consist of a series of zones with mixed use including commercial, residential, resort, and amenity areas.[1] The vision of the project is "to create a world-class destination for residents, visitors and businesses in the world's fastest growing city".[1]
Run by the Dubai Waterfront Company, the project is open to foreign investment with its real estate developer, Nakheel, owning a 51% stake.[2]
Waterfront was being developed by Nakheel, one of the world's largest real estate developers. There is, however, a major issue with erosion. The artificial islands would be formed to resemble the most widely recognized symbol of Islam, the star and crescent. This would produce a shelter around the Palm Jebel Ali, one of the two Palm Islands, the largest artificial islands (shaped like palm trees) in the world also being constructed by Nakheel.[3] It was later redesigned without the Islamic design, and due to the 2007–2008 financial crisis, the project was stalled, and with 40% of the islands already constructed, the project was cancelled.
