Dubai: World's fastest growing city?

Checkout this insane flickr set spanning ten years of the world's fastest growing city. Dubai has $90 Billion U.S. dollars invested in the city and about 15% of the world's cranes are operating there (and I thought San Diego had a lot of cranes). It is also home to both The World and The Palms, man-made island (aka land reclaimation) projects off the coast. For $7 million you can own your own private little island. Wee!
