I’ve been paying close attention to the emergence of Dubai and if you’ve been paying daily attention to Limite, you would already know that! More importantly is what is Dubai really doing!; that’s both a statement and question in one. I’ve never been to Dubai but let me give you a small update: 1) Dubai is now housing 25% of the worlds cranes!, 2) everything they’re building is more than twice the size of whatever they’re basing their ideas from (they have the tallest skyscraper at 1.2 miles high, an amusement park twice the size of Disney World), 3) if you don’t spend more than $150,000 annually, chances are you will not get to get to enjoy the treasures of Dubai. Please don’t get me wrong, this is in no way, shape or form, an attack to Dubai; I wish them the best of success. My question is “How far will they go?” which leads us into my posting…

Timelinks, a Dubai design firm has unveiled plans to make a pyramid!! Not for show-and-tell, but to house people… one million people. Featuring an efficient vertically and horizontally running public transportation system, and generate all of the energy it needs.  

As you read this and think “No way in hell!”, Timelinks says “Yes Way!!”, they’ve already set about patenting the design as well as the technology that would make this possible. The structure, nearly a whole square mile by design, would use a combination of steam, wind, and other alternative energy-gathering methods to keep itself entirely “off the grid”; along with “green spaces” to provide agricultural space to provide food and green-based commerce.

It’s only a matter of time…
