Dubai is filled with some incredible architecture and as the city establishes itself, you can only expect more amazing upcoming developments by 2020. Here are seven upcoming developments that will definitely shape the future of the emirate.

1. The Lagoons



The Dubai Creek Harbour development  provides city living combined with nature, along with a master-plan larger than Downtown Dubai, which is equipped to support commercial & cultural development.

The harbour sits abreast of Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary that has sheltered around 450 animal species within its 620 hectares for a quarter-century. It is built with future generations in mind to be financially viable and ecologically responsible.


With no legacy ties to infrastructure, this new Dubai will leapfrog many of the world’s other global cities. The area encompasses commercial districts linked by leisure developments that expand into further residential neighborhoods and parks.
The Dubai Creek mega-project is also to hold  the Dubai Twin Towers, an iconic mixed-use development billed to be the tallest twin towers in the world.
