In conjunction with the Museum's spring/summer 2007 exhibition, The Skyscraper Museum and The New York Academy of Sciences present the final lecture in its series exploring the context of the design and development of Burj Dubai, soon to be the world's tallest building.
JULY 18
Why Dubai?
The New York Academy of Sciences
7 WTC, 40th Floor

Dubai development strives for superlatives: artificial islands visible from space, the world'! s tallest building, largest maritime complex, shopping mall, and theme park, as well as the infamous indoor ski run, testify to the limitless ambition, imagination, and wealth driving Dubai’s expansion. A panel of experts currently at work on a range of Dubai megaprojects, including developers, architects, engineers, and construction-industry executives, will discuss the reasons why Dubai has become "the fastest-growing city in the world."
