These are the developments which are scheduled for construction on various islands of The World, under construction in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. However the construction has been halted due to Financial crisis of 2007–2010, except for one island which is owned by the ruler of Dubai, Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.[1]
Islands on The World are supposed to fall into several categories:
- Low Density: Residential islands
- Medium and High Density: Residential areas.
- Resorts: Mainly hotels and resorts will be built.
- Commercial: Shopping, entertainment, restaurants, cafes
- Transportation: Hubs for transportation through boats to mainland Dubai.[2]
