on a daily basis for the past few months i’ve been reading about mammoth building projects in dubai but seeing the following fact today still came as a shocker:

that’s around 30′000 of the 125′000 or so that exist.

holy fuck. even if that’s been exaggerated slightly it’s still impressive. anyway, i’ve found a few of them…
