City on a Plate-Dubai

Description:
Dubai pop. 1.5 million.
The Dubai plate is distinguished by the vast blue expanse of the Persian Gulf that is kept at bay by the citys strange, mesmerizing form, a form that owes its unique patterns to the current, unceasing explosion of commerce and trade. Along the shore is Jebel Ali, the largest manmade harbour in the world. With 67 berths it is the biggest port in the Middle East.

The areas in red depict highlights of the robust architectural development in the city, including the Burj Dubai, which became the worlds largest skyscraper on July 21, 2007. The sprawling Dubai International airport is seen in white along the edge of the plate, its mammoth scale eclipsing the tiny Reagan National airport seen on the Washington, D.C. plate.

These porcelain plates measure 12 across, with each citys downtown core printed on a black background. Key buildings are represented with red icons, while rivers and public spaces are shown in blue and green. Each plate is boxed and includes a key to the buildings and spaces included on the plate.
