  Designing for Need
  18 May 2011
 
 
  Dubai took the brunt of the downfall of the real estate market in the UAE, some might say unjustifiably so. After all, it was Dubai that set the standard for world class, innovative design and development in the region, perhaps even the world.

Luckily, other markets have since come to the fore to lead the region in getting out of the economic slump. Qatar and Saudi Arabia seem to be the current front runners while Abu Dhabi has also secured a position in the lead. But let's pause for a moment to reflect on the type of work being developed.

In these trying times, it is prudent to look back to lessons learned from Dubai. To be fair, Dubai set the benchmark for design in the Middle East and indeed globally – the emirate came from near obscurity to household name around the world.
