The Dubai Waterfront (now known as ''Waterfront'') was expected to become the largest waterfront and largest man-made development in the world. The project is a conglomeration of canals and artificial archipelago; it would occupy the last remaining Persian Gulf coastline of Dubai, the most populous emirate of the United Arab Emirates. It was planned to consist of a series of zones with mixed use including commercial, residential, resort, and amenity areas.〔 The vision of the project is "to create a world-class destination for residents, visitors and businesses in the world's fastest growing city".〔 Run by the Dubai Waterfront Company, the project is open to foreign investment with its real estate developer, Nakheel, owning a 51% stake.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=H.H. Sheikh Mohammed announces the launch of Dubai Waterfront, the world's largest waterfront development )〕 Waterfront was being developed by Nakheel, one of the world’s largest real estate developers. The artificial islands would be formed to resemble the most widely recognized symbol of Islam, the star and crescent. This would produce a shelter around the Palm Jebel Ali, one of the three Palm Islands, the largest artificial islands (shaped like palm trees) in the world also being constructed by Nakheel.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dubai Waterfront )〕 ==Geography== Waterfront is planned to add more than 70 kilometres to Dubai's coastline〔 and encompass an area of 1.4 billion square feet of water and land developments. It is expected to house an estimated population of 1.5 million people. Located near the new Al Maktoum International Airport, and with direct access to Sheikh Zayed Road, Jebel Ali Freezone and Abu Dhabi, the city would be fully accessible on a local and international scale. The hub of the development would be along the shoreline, stretching in-land to offer a range of residences, commercial districts and industrial areas, with a number of major tourist attractions and leisure amenities. Extending from the coastline into the Persian Gulf would be a series of connected islands featuring villas and high-end accommodation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dubai Waterfront」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
