Coastal Expansion In Dubai, United Arab Emirates

As many of us know,  Dubai is a very rich city. It has one of the highest gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in the world, having its ports become one of the main locations for industrial docking. So, due to its large marine influence over time, land expansion in its coast has been developed, with billions of dollars invested for two immense palm-shaped islands along with the newest construction of a world map.  Due to the immediate success of the first palm island, Dubai has constructed a couple more of these sand-based locations, although by simply observing at the timelapse and map, you can tell that almost all of the other islands have not been occupied. From a logical standpoint, this makes sense. First of all, it has become un-practical for the potential buyers, due to how far away these are from the coastline- apart from this lack of vision by the developers,  purchasing territory in these lands is not cheap,-most of the properties there being owned by billionaires and multi-millionaires planning on escaping the city- although I don't think they meant that literally, (there is a separation of 50-miles to get to land).  All, in all, even though the coastal expansion of Dubai is a revolutionary idea and innovative, it has not been well-thought-out resulting in a waste of money for investors, and a useless purchase for their target audience. This is a clear example of the design thinking process done backwards.
