Concrete World?


 Eight Million Square Feet Shop!

Close the doors. Don't have windows. Fill the room with chilled air. Freeze the people.  Steal steel and pour concrete and glass. Make structures that would wave hands with the stars and start selling little straw berries and toys. 

Dubai, a shopping-loving city that is already home to one of the world's largest malls, now wants to build one even bigger. The emirate’s ruler, Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, has laid out plans for a sprawling real-estate project, the Mall of the World, which will include an 8-million-square-foot mall, a climate-controlled street network, a theme park covered during the scorching summer months and 100 hotels and serviced apartments.
Dubai Holding, the company behind the project, says on its website that the mall will be the world's largest, but that claim could not be independently confirmed. By comparison, Minnesota's Mall of America, the largest in the United States, is 4.87 million square feet.
Always a simple question for a small family or an individual before opening his vallet. Is it so necessary? Can't I survive without this purchase? The same for peoples too. Can't we survive without these malls? Will the world end if we don't build a concrete world? Think twice before you raise any building.

Oil money should not burn this world.
