Dubai is sometimes called "the fastest growing city in the world." Why? Let us tell you why.

Dubai became in 1971 one of the 7 emirates of the UAE (United Arab Emirates). The population increased from 265,702 in 1980, to 669,181 in 1995 and to 1,321,453 in 2006. . In 2003, 84% of the population was immigrated and 71% were men. The current population is around 5,500,000 people!! For a city to grow, building buildings is necessary. And to build buildings, you need construction cranes. About 25%-30% of the world's construction cranes can be found in Dubai.
