Palm Atlantis rises up from the sandLocated on the furthermost point of the busiest construction site in Dubai, the logistics of building the Atlantis on the Palm Jumeirah were never going to be easy. Throw in a midday working ban, an international shortage of tower cranes, the problem of accommodating 2,000 site workers, and the fact that your entire development will be built on sand, and you really have all the ingredients of what is known in the industry as a logistical nightmare.

Bags full of possibilities for job creationJOB creation is often seen as requiring big projects, massive capital outlay or state intervention. Business and government overlook opportunities in the so-called second economy.

An excellent example of this is the Johannesburg cross-border retail trade sector, where more than half a million people are coming into the city each year to shop, bringing in between R15bn and R20bn a year. Figures from South African Tourism indicate that one third, or R15,7bn, of the total spend by domestic and international tourists in SA in 2004 was in Johannesburg. Of this, R5,7bn, or more than one-third, was from regional shoppers travelling overland to SA. read more.
