I agree with a lot being said here. There really needs to be a campaign to promote sustainablity. Why are we planting grass and delicate flowers in a brutal desert? We need to be thinking about conservation of water, pollution and dust control, and a real recycling program. This city is also in dreadful need of public transportation. Imagine what the roads will look like once all these villas and skyscrapers are finished. There will be complete gridlock. I've heard talk of a monorail, which would be brilliant! I truly hope that those who are involved in urban planning in this city are forward looking and create a model city for the modern age, not another quagmire (which is the way things are going) With all the capital we have to work with, we could really do something progressive and fantastic here. It's not too late, but it's getting close.
