Johann Hari of the UK Independent has an investigative journalism piece at the Huffington Post (are those two things a contradiction in terms?) that points out the flaws in Dubai’s sustainability long-term (or even medium-term). It’s a little melodramatic in its language, but raises some important points, primarily about the civil rights for foreigners and the damage that building a major water-consuming center in the middle of the desert does to the surrounding environment.
