Replicating Vancouver in Dubai

Replicating Vancouver in Dubai

May 27, 2007 in Unbelievable!, Canada/Vancouver
DK mentioned over dim sum yesterday a fascinating tidbit about Dubai Marina and Vancouver’s False Creek, so I did a little investigating. Very interesting! (FYI, Yaletown/False Creek area is where I live now…)

The following article is dated 2004, and there may very well be better articles out there. And probably a few dissertations and master’s theses out there? The author, Boddy, an architecture writer for the Vancouver Sun beams with national(ist) pride that Dubai chose to replicate Vancouver.
