Dubai new islands...?

Question

Hey can anyone please help out, I've a few questions here regarding the land reclamation at Dubai.

- Why is there a need to create new islands in Dubai?

- How was the construction carried out?

- What will the new land be used for?

Please help!

Thanks.

Answer 1

- Dubai does not have all that much land and  the need arose due to plans to use these islands for residential purposes and tourism, hence it had to be close to the city, where land is already scarce.

-With millions of cubic metres of big rocks and some more million cubic metres of sand, topped by some more million cubic meters of concrete.

The new land will be used for residential purposes and as tourist attractions.
