so what is the name of the song?! come on... anyone?! Even though Dubai couldn't reach its goal by 2010, i still admired them for such an accomplishment, I live in the US, and not even Vegas with a 10 billion dollar structure (City Center) can compare to any of this structures. It is sad that even though we have more money we can't build such a wonderful cities... we are all about profits and probably more greedy thats why we don't really focus on creative architecture.

@Nambuz which is why Dubai and the UAE in general is now bankrupt.

[djmz1969]

That's pretty weird..How can this building cost 1.5billion and the Freedom Tower in NY will cost 3.5billion and the San Francisco Bay bridge retrofit will cost a stagering 6.5billion dollars??? Hummm?

@aCalebWestProduct, AMERICA is still the worlds most powerful county, 17.5 trillion in GPP while the whole continent of europe has 17 million GPP, so that shows u america is still rich n powerful with or witout debt! anyway who said anything about Arabs?...?? i dont hate um! anyway the Burj Dubai was designed by a Chicago architect, and Chicago has the most supertalls in the world! click my name to see the cool video i did on Chicago!
