Energy to Synergy in Resource-Dependent Cities (New Geography)
I'll be stopping here on the way to our Lisbon, Portugal Photo Adventure workshop at http://www.stuckincustoms.com/lisbon-portugal-photo-adventure/ - come find out more - it's gonna be epic! How beautiful is Dubai? I love coming here to take photos and explore the city. For this shot, I was invited through the royal family and a friend to get up onto a building that was about half a mile in the air. This allowed me to be able to shoot straight across at the Burj Khalifa. Most photos you see have it leaning inwards because it's so tall and shot with a wide angle upwards... those are cool, but so is this angle!
Resource boomtowns are unique policy laboratories that have the resources to experiment with innovative development initiatives and, if embracing an opportunistic planning vision, have the chance to remake themselves using the proceeds of their fleeting advantages.
