Dubai Creek Expansion, revolution or Madness?!

Just read about the RTA initiative of expanding Dubai creek back to the Arabian gulf, thus effectively turning Bur Dubai area into the artificial island. I heard about building artificial islands, huge water parks but I think this is first initiative of its kind. Chey how complex this gonna be!

I believe this will not be a straight forward project and will face lots of environmental/social challenges. Imagine piece of road is replaced by water way how about sewerage, bridges, and settlement of effected peoples, infrastructure and lot more..

Tourists will enjoy that!
