Until last year at least, when Dubai’s speculative property-based boom came to a spectacular and sudden halt, there was a saying in the United Arab Emirates (UAE): “Abu Dhabi plans and Dubai delivers”.
A visit to Masdar City, on the desert fringe of Abu Dhabi, shows how its planning is starting to bear fruit.

Don't show me this again.
