Dubai Jobs: Dubai - The Ever-Changing City

Dubai - The Ever-Changing City

At the present time, the centre of the construction boom is undoubtedly Dubai. In the hotel sector alone there are plans to build 150 more hotels over the next five to seven years, expanding the number of hotel rooms from 20,000 in 1990 to 55,000.

Other new projects underway in Dubai are the $2 billion Dubai International Financial Centre, a huge office complex rumored to include a major skyscraper; the $2.5 billion expansion of the Dubai International Airport; the $3 billion Palm Island project; $1.6 billion Dubai Marina leisure and residential development; $1.6 billion Festival City mixed-use development; further phases of the Dubai Internet City and Media City; and the new Convention Centre at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

In addition, Emaar Properties is developing the Emirates Hills/Emirates Lakes into a massive residential new town, and Majid Al Futtaim has a massive shopping mall and indoor ski resort under construction on a nearby site.

Around the Gulf region shopping malls are under construction all over the place. But for now the focus of building activity is Dubai , and all these new offices, homes and hotels will need furniture and interior design. In 2003, the value of building projects under construction in the UAE were estimated at $28 Billion. The projects include new high-rise commercial/residential districts, hotels, houses, hospitals, schools, universities, public parks, large shopping centers, beach resorts, man-made residential islands, the massive expansion of the airports in Dubai and Abu Dhabi , and other commercial premises.

Bring back ex-Margao SDM

Noel Pinto,Ā Dubai-UAEIt is disgusting to note the treatment given to former SDM of Margao, Mr. Suresh Pilarnekar.Ā The situation in which he is in today is the result of his good work towards the society.Ā How on earth he is deserved such an awful treatment from the government after keeping on check several gambling activities by himself?Ā In fact, he should have been awarded with medal or at least his work should have been appreciated.Ā If he had to cooperate with the gamblers, police and politicians, would he be happy?Ā Definitely yes, he would be happy but not get the satisfaction.Ā He would have made lots of money for himself, but he chose not to do it as he is a man of honour, believe in honesty and the good work for the society.Ā Well, rather than punishing those who are guilty in his attempt to curb the menace of gambling, he paid the price in the form of a transfer to Sanguem as a Forest Settlement Officer.Ā If such things continue, it means government is encouraging the gambling activities, corruption and anti-social elements in our society.Ā Without the intervention of Chief Minister ā€“ Mr. read more.

Going green: Zero emission across different industries

Concern for environmental damage caused by industries' pollution has reached fever pitch globally. Proactive waste management systems practiced today are still in the "end-of-the-pipe" phase. They need to move beyond recycling to work at minimizing waste generation. This can be done by revisiting the entire production processes of different industries. Worldwide, companies are waking up to the fact that the only sustainable path to the future is the observance of the zero emissions doctrine. As a new paradigm, zero waste has to be embraced with a near religious zeal that goes beyond recycling waste. At the basic level, it would mean that the manufacturer takes back some part of the product for reuse. The significant barriers to zero-waste drive are evident. If there was resistance to setting up effluent treatment plants in the early 1990s, radical shifts in today's production process are bound to face stronger resistance. read more.
