Development and growth in cities is shown through some reasons. The strategic location of the city. For this reason, most major cities are on rivers or at the junction of important overland routes (City, 2008). Moreover some cities owe for the importance of religion and became centers of worship (City, 2008). For example the city of Rome survived the collapse of the Roman empire because it was the capital of western Christendom (City, 2008). Early cities that developed strong military forces added to their territory, wealth and importance by conquest. Favorably located settlements often became large and prosperous through commerce (City, 2008). Also some modern cities owe to their development and to the fact that they were built as national capitals. Like Washington, D.C; Canberra, Australia (City, 2008). Climate also is a an important factor; the cities of Florida owe much of their growth to the state’s attractive climate (City, 2008). Other reason for developing is the industrial revolution.

...Scope of Glass Solution in the Middle East Countries Objective: The objective of the research is to know about the market that is prevailing in the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) countries and to know about the scope of the glass in these countries in the near future. Executive Summary: It is inevitable that infrastructure is one of the main criteria for a country’s GDP growth. Infrastructure includes construction of airports, ports and rails. Real Estate is a booming market in Middle East especially in Dubai and Saudi Arabia in recent years since 2008when the market crashed. This research includes the study about architects, builders and Glass installers who have their base in UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. In most of the countries glass is considered as one of the main structural material for both exteriors and interiors. Due to the financial crisis in the year 2008 many of the projects were put on-hold in the GCC countries. After five years, the market is on a move as many projects have been announced and on-hold projects have started to resume its process. This is very much clear from the fact that as much as $35billion contracts have been awarded to the civil construction sector by the end of year 2013. It is expected that spending in the construction sector is expected to remain in the range of $25billion-$35billion in the upcoming years. Civil construction is one of the major sectors which are awarded the most number of contracts. Almost $15billion worth of contracts...

...“New trends of Middle East Economy” Middle East Economy Background Main economic sectors & main actors Current trends with alternative investment apart from oil industry” by Panakant Raschasri 5303640691 Middle East Economy Background The economic structure of Middle Eastern nations are different in the sense that while some nations are heavily dependent on export of only oil and oil-related products (such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Kuwait), others have a highly diverse economic base (such as Cyprus, Israel, Turkey and Egypt). Industries of the Middle Eastern region include oil and oil-related products, agriculture, cotton, cattle, dairy, textiles, leather products, surgical instruments, defense equipment (guns, ammunition, tanks, submarines, fighter jets, UAVs, and missiles). Banking is also an important sector of the economies, especially in the case of UAE and Bahrain. Main economic sectors & main actors Middle Eastern Oil-Exporting Countries The oil exporters comprise 12 countries: the six countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC—Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates) and Algeria, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Sudan, and Yemen. Together, they account for 65 percent of global oil reserves and 45 percent of natural gas reserves. The countries are mainly exporters of oil, gas, and refined products, with oil and gas contributing about 50 percent to GDP and80 percent to revenue. They are diverse and differ substantially in terms of per...

After a 7.5% growth in real GDP in 2008, UAE‟s GDP increased by only 1.3% to reach AED515bn in 2009. Despite the global recession, the non-oil GDP grew by 8.4% in 2009. Due to the decrease in oil prices and production, the non-oil sector contributed 71% of the GDP in 2009 compared to 66% during the previous year. Overall Broad Money supply decreased by 0.3% as of Q2-2010; grew by 5.4% in 2009 The UAE government implemented expansionary monetary and fiscal policies to stimulate aggregate demand in 2009. Due to the effects of the recession on the economy, the UAE government wanted to expand the money supply and encourage growth. Money Supply (M1) and Broad Money (M2) grew by 3.7% and 2.2% respectively, while the overall broad money (M3) decreased by 0.25% as of Q2-2010 due to a decrease in government deposits. UAE maintained a budget surplus for its fifth consecutive year The budget surplus in recent years was largely credited to high gas and oil profits due to high oil prices. Total government revenue was almost AED293bn for 2009, a decline of 35% from the previous year, while hydrocarbon...

...hectare’. A committee of scientists and experts was set up in order to study in detail the methods of energy consumption in the country and determine how they can be improved. This made the UAE the third country in the world to develop the ‘Ecological Footprint Initiative’ after Switzerland and Japan. Since then, the footprint per person in the UAE has gone down from 9.5 gha in 2010 to 8.4 in 2012. However, the UAE is aiming to lower this number even further still. The UAE’s 2030 plan involves reducing carbon emissions city-wide by 40 per cent. After seeing that houses account for over three-quarters of the UAE’s carbon footprint, the beginning of 2013 saw a number of regulation modifications which improved the standard of lighting equipment being used in UAE homes. The initiative taken to install water and electricity meters in people’s homes aimed to allow people to change their behaviour towards the environment and to think twice about excessive use. In February, the Regulation and Supervision Bureau in Abu Dhabi and the Emirates Wildlife Society, in association with WWF, signed an agreement to collaborate in developing energy-efficiency standards for residential...

...In a survey done by the Arab Youth organization, young arabs chose the UAE as “the country they would most like to move to… and the country they would most like their country to emulate” (Badam). The UAE was ahead of 20 other countries, including the United States, Germany and Britain, as young people’s top country to live in. What led to the UAE’s astronomical rise? What policies led to the resources from oil revenues being spent in the most efficient fashion in comparison to other nations? These are the questions I will tackle in this paper. The UAE was established in 1971 when the rulers of the seven independent emirates agreed to instill a unifying constitution. The ruler of Abu Dhabi at the time , Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, was chosen to lead the country. Since then, the ruler of Abu Dhabi is President of the United Arab Emirates, the head of state, and the ruler of Dubai is the Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, the head of government. This historic peaceful union of neighboring states is an inspiration to nations around the world. By bypassing a time of war and power struggles, the leaders of each emirate were able to focus on the well-being of the people since the unification of the country. At present, the federal system of government includes the Supreme Council, the Council of Ministers (Cabinet), a parliamentary body in the form...
