AND IT WAS A HYPERBOLE. An exaggeration, I should have put a there to indicate my joking tone. But you want to get serious. Ok.
Im not sure if this statement is a joke too but if it isnt then you need to check your facts. United States cities by crime rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yes I see NY has a HUGE POPULATION and even if Dubai reaches that population it will be spread over a HUGE AREA and they can also build on water. New York can't. And that is something Dubai will reign on NY in. We'll see if it gets crowded.
Hello we already did that. Ever heard of Battery Park City. Land that was developed on water from dirt that was from the construction of the original World Trade Center.

Now your second paragraph really hurts to read. You've made NY out of be the best city in the world. But even so I can't take that away from you because of your opinion. That belongs to you, so I can only try to change it. History isn't what makes a building. Eventually they get demolished and they are forgotten, except for the fact that they are put in books and on the internet.
And when you say Dubai's buildings are tall and ugly, allow me to reiterate, it's your opinion and all I can say is that it's shallow. The buildings are designed with care and consideration which allows for amazing and new buildings to be built 24/7
. Care and consideration. Where are you from? The U.S. ,especially NY, has strict laws and building codes, I doubt the the government over there has as many rules and laws as we do pertaining to consideration for there people. I know this for a fact. We run on a democracy and a great system. We have the greenest building in the world. Here it is Bank of America Tower (New York City - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)We also had the worlds largest office complex(its gone now after a terrorist attack YouTube - MEMORYS OF 9-11 ) but we will have the worlds largest again after were done rebuilding it(World Trade Center || World Trade Center ||)

Your statement,

is insanely biased, and to a point, rude. Where there is nothing you build. I build a house on my empty property because I want to live there, NOT because it's crappy. That statement is childish.
The gardens are there because in a huge city, you want somewhere to relax, and in a growing you want something attractive to bring people in. The Mohammed Bin Rashid Gardens for example are a excellent example of a park, or giant park or gardens where people live or whatever you want to call it. It's intricate designs bring a whole new meaning to design and pretty much pwn Central Park. If I had to choose between a intelligently designed garden and a large square park I'd take the former.
First NYC does not only have one park. It has about 150 parks. Also playgrounds, community gardens, courtyards, and public spaces. No dubai was crappy. all those buildings now are from money they get from oil. Like you said people move to a city because they want to and thats why NY has so many people and growing. What are you talking about., intelligently designed garden, that statement is stupid. Iv seen that garden and it has buildings in it and that is relatively new to put against a park that is historic and famous. Yes that garden is big but seems like all the places are separated from each other in a long fashion. Here is central park which gets 25 million annual visitors each year. The park opened in 1859 Central Park - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In terms of the Bruj Dubai, I honestly have no idea what you are saying when you wrote that it had a poor design. The design amazing, if you actually stop to see what it is, and how they came up with it you'll be stunned. This so called poor design lets the tower stand at its height and provides for interesting variety compared to the rest of the squarish buildings that dominate the worlds skyline.
Ironically enough, the Burj Dubai contains probably more luxury than all the tower in NY put together, and just to make it fair, I'll add the Burj Al Arab to the mix. What do you say? 2 Buildings against 6000. You bring down Dubai and insult its luxury yet within the city is the worlds only, one more time, WORLDS ONLY 7 star Hotel. That in itself proves it luxury. Plus only a few privileged people will get to live in the Burj Dubai.
Actually NYC is known for its luxury. It was in the top ten most expensive cities in the world but now its at 15, only due to the economic crisis which after when our economy rises again we will be in the top 10. Dubai is at 25. And i looked at the luxury inside the burj and it looks like the average condo in NYC not on par with the most luxurious things NYC has to offer. and why did you say 6000, there are way more of course it has more.

Seriously, stop with the images. I've seen NY. If I turn my TV on somewhere on some channel, NY will be on.

So you want to play the quote and rebut game. Okay.

I'm from Australia. Ummm. I knew that. Just in case you didn't know America has more global exposure than any other country in the world. From what I've seen and heard on TV, books, movies, and the internet I know more about American history than Australian. And I didn't mean that the buildings in Dubai were constructed by rules and guidelines, though they were, I meant that care was taken into designing them so they would be state of the art and all add together to create one of the best cities in the world.

OH. I'm so sorry I didn't know that building things from money you get from your country's exports is a sin. OH IM SO SORRY. Listen mate. They can build anything they want from the oil money because it's their oil and they can do anything they want. You can build a house from money you make selling vegetables you grow in the backyard. Point is, the money was made by you.

Did you ever stop to think that the design was historic to the Arabic people? And I'm waaay sure it's older than America itself.

In a long fashion yes to add variety. More parks all over the place so everyone can get to one. And altogether the garden is 5 kilometers squared. That's bigger than all of central park put together.

Hahaha. Since when does money decide on luxury? There's a difference between enjoying yourself at a hotel or house and the cost of living. I can only imagine Brooklyn and all those places where people are working they're hearts out to earn a living. Dubai isn't high on that list because it's not expensive to live in Dubai. Sure it is to stay at a hotel, but live no.


If you're going to argue with me, then here something you should know.
Don't post images or links, if I need to find a building I'll research it myself.
And stop using words like crappy and stupid. This isn't preschool.
Use logic in your arguments, don't fire blindly.

The tv does not show you all of new york city. Think some times.

The website can not necessarily be changed. They have like mod to check pages and fix them. You cant edit the intro paragraph and the facts on the side of the page. Facts also have those numbers on the side for where they get the information from. (Thats what those numbers that are on the side of a sentence is for) I didnt change anything. Also they have websites on the bottom of the pages.

I dont see the reason to expand over the ocean if there is enough room.

I said strict law codes which i know other country like that dont have, well at least not as complex as ours. Again Dubai is not a real city. Where is the corner to corner stores, media,
walkability(Get Your Walk Score - A Walkability Score For Any Address), museums, attractions, etc

I didnt say that making money off of exports is wrong im just saying if it was a real city people would haved moved to it.

Fisrt whats so complex about it. Second Central Park was opened in 1889, this new garden is just getting built. So what much can you puy against an older more attractive park. Third you probably did not read my post when i side NYC has about 150 parks. IT would be more if I added playgrounds and public spaces. Some buildings have courtyards too.


Quote:

There so call culture design. Thats easy to design especially if you have a land full of nothing. Central Park is intelligently designed. It is smack dabbed in the middle of the city in easy access to millions of people when it was first opened

Like i said. NYC has about 150 parks, and playgrounds, public spaces and courtyards. You are so ignorant. you think central park is the only park in NYC. Central park is 3.4 sq km but its not the biggest park in NYC. Cental park was much harder to make because in the 1880s there was not that much technology the city is known for its bedrock that is close to land thats why we are able to build so many tall buildings. The bedrock is strong, one of the strongest rocks on earth(if not the strongest).


Quote:
While much of the park looks natural, it is in fact almost entirely landscaped. It contains several natural-looking lakes and ponds,[7] extensive walking tracks, two ice-skating rinks, the Central Park Zoo, the Central Park Conservatory Garden, a wildlife sanctuary, a large area of natural woods, a 106-acre (0.43 km2) billion gallon reservoir with an encircling running track, and an outdoor amphitheater called the Delacorte Theater which hosts the "Shakespeare in the Park" summer festivals. Indoor attractions include Belvedere Castle with its nature center, the Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre, and the historic Carousel. In addition there are numerous major and minor grassy areas, some of which are used for informal or team sports, some are set aside as quiet areas, and there are a number of enclosed playgrounds for children.
The park has its own wildlife and also serves as an oasis for migrating birds, especially in the fall and the spring, making it a significant attraction for bird watchers; 200 species of birds are regularly seen.[8] The 6 miles (10 km) of drives within the park are used by joggers, bicyclists and inline skaters, especially on weekends, and in the evenings after 7:00 p.m., when automobile traffic is banned.
The real-estate value of Central Park is estimated to be $528,783,552,000 according to the property-appraisal firm Miller Samuel.[9]
