Man+Machine co-operation - 18th July 06.

Palm Jumeirah, Dubai's Palm Tree Mega Structure Island Project is an enormous project. It is now under construction in the Arabian Gulf and that will change the face of the coastline.

On July 3rd, 06, when I stood on the Golden Gate Bridge, (GGB) I found myself 130 meter or 746' high above the Pacific Ocean. It is reported that the Huge structure of the bridge was shaken but escaped damaging from the terrible earth quake ever held in the United States of America in 1948. That time I had thought that if the man and machine could properly co-operate to each other many wonders could be possible in the world.

The Palm Jumeirah will be the first man made Island in the earth in the shape of a massive palm tree after completion in its due time in 2008. And at the same time it will be another big example of the 'man+machine co-operation'. The project is so vast that it can be seen from space. Palm Jumeirah is one of the most audacious engineering projects the world has ever seen. A breathtaking megastructure and an ambitious engineering feat to transform Dubai into one of the world's premiere tourist destinations. Besides the construction of the Island, there is also the challenge of building a small city with 4,500 luxury houses and apartments, 29 hotels, miles of roads, and all the utilities required by the thousands of people who will be living on and using this island including water, electricity, gas and sewage. It is also reported that the Seikh of Dubai is going to construct still bigger palm tree Island in the Arabian Sea after the completion of the initial one. What a man can expect more than this. Was it not a 'big wonder' of the 'man+machine cooperation'.
